Dear Anna:

            Received your most welcomed letter and I am very happy to hear that you and the rest of the family is in the best of health. I am in the best of health and doing fine so far.

            I understand you can send up to 8 ounces so if you want to I would like you to send me a pipe and a shaving stick not the cream I shall appreciate it very much if you can do this for me. I understand there is an ink made in powder form if so I would like you send me some if you can.

            I ask always thinking of you and always will.

            Forever, Always yours

            Tony
