Description

This artifact is Shawna Trainer's photo of a note she received from her sorority's Big, Sarah Mayper. The note commands Shawna Trainer to restore her health, and the submitter provided the following about the artifact’s history: "When I was sick a few weeks ago my Big snuck into my room with the help of my roommate while I was gone. She placed the note with the candy on my desk so that I’d see it when I got back to the room. It is your typical get better card written in her own style that is more of a command to get better rather than the typical 'I hope you get better.'"
