SC - Re: Pennsic Milk

[Bonne of Traquair]

I cannot comment on the accuracy of this warning - but I got it from my
mother, so I know that part of the chain is accurate.  I have made some
minor (grammatical and spelling) changes to the original message (well, the
original hurt my sensibilities!).  As well, I have tried to make it a little
more reader friendly and shorter!
