Dear Anna:

Received your most welcomed letter and I am glad to hear that you and everyone else in the family is in the best of health.

I have been writing to you right along just why you do not receive my letters I do no know.

I am happy to know that Anna has graduated and I wish her lots of luck and success.

I hope that Betty is doing OK in her work which I am sure she is and I suppose she has the boy friend situation well in hand tell her I said to keep up the good work.

I am glad to know that you are getting along OK with your garden problems and in time you should have quite a variety maybe you will be able to create a market for your produce.

I certainly would like to be there spendings my evenings in the Old garden like we used to do. I sure do miss those days.

By the way how is Joe making out you haven’t mentioned him for sometime and I have been wondering if there was anything wrong.

I understand you can send packages that do not weight over 8 ounces so if you possibly can I would like you to send a pipe and if you possibly can send me a newspaper or magazine.

I hope mother is in the best of health and I wish mom and anna a very happy birthday.

This is about all I can think of to say at preset except that I am in the best of health and doing OK so far.

Remember me to Em, Elise and Rosalie and I hope they are all in the best of health and I hope Em is OK in his works.

Lots of love to you and Best Regards to everybody

Forever, always Yours

Tony
