Dear Anna:

            Just a few lines to let you know that I am well and I hope all of you at home are the same.

            I have received quite a few of your letters and I also received your package and Rosalie’s letter. I want to thank all of you for every thing you sent me and I also want to thank Rosalie for her letter. I want all of you to know I appreciate everything you do for me.

            I have written to you several times since I have been in Africa and I hope that by this time you have received my letters.

            Lots of love to you and best regards to everyone at home.

                                                                        Forever always yours,

                                                                        Tony
