Dearest Folks,

            Just a few lines to say hello.  Everything down here is just fine and I imagine it’s the same with you all in Baltimore.  I received a letter from Rickey today and she sent me Elliott’s address.  I wrote him a letter today.  School is pretty easy.  There is nothing to it and the fellers all seem to like it.  I received a letter from Ben today also, and he is getting along fine.  There won’t be much to say in this letter because I wrote you one this morning.  So take care of yourselves all and take it easy.  Don’t work hard and don’t worry.  Loads of Love.

Love and kisses,

“Ike”
