Dearest Marge,
Well I finally got mail. Some of it was rather old but I think I’ve gotten everything straightened out. If your letters arrived here in the order you write them everything would be easy but they don’t. About 10 days ago I got a letter from you telling me that your mother was home from Louis.

Nothing to worry about. When you write V mail, if you ever do be sure and don’t write over the margin. They won’t print them then and it takes a long time to get here.

Well I saw another show recently “Is Everybody Happy” That makes 3 times I’ve seen the pictures but what could I do but see it again. Oh well I should gripe.
Did Kate
and Jim ever get married or have they decided to wait for a while. That’s something I've never been able to figure
out. The latest information was Jim was
sending after her to come to
Well Honey

think of anything else now.
Always Yours
Ralph
