Dear Anna:

            Received your most welcomed letter and I hope that you and all the folks at home is in the best of health and I am very glad to say that I am in good health and doing fine.

            I suppose you are all getting ready to go to shore and I wish I were there to go with you.

            I certainly hope that mom is in good health and I hope that she will always be that way.

            I received a letter from Rosalie and I answered it and I hope they like their new home I suppose it will be better for Em as it will be closer to his work.

            I hope you are getting along OK with your work and I hope that Betty and Anna is doing OK and by the way how is Joe doing.

            I miss you very much and I hope we shall be able to have those good times again that we used to have.

Lots of love to you and I give my best regards to everyone.

Forever, always yours,

Tony
