Dear Albert:

I received your letter last week and just have time now to scribble a few lines.

How are you doing? Everyone is fine and hope the same with you.

I am now in Study Hall as one of the teacher’s isn’t here. This is my Second one this morning and I have one also this afternoon. I’m going to get caught up in my letter writing if it is the last thing I do.

The weather has been pretty miserable lately. With all the rain we have had, we ought to have sunshiny weather for a month.

Now that the war is over, and letters aren’t censored, you still don’t tell me anything about your trips? What island are you at now? Do you think you will soon hit the States? Let’s hope so anyway.

We haven’t heard from my one brother for four weeks now and Mother received two of her letters back. We know he is on his way home but he should at least have hit the States by now. I’m so anxious to see him. I really can’t wait.

Last Saturday night Jennie R. called me from Bethlehem to tell me that she and Frank R. were coming up to see me next Sunday. Well I was very much surprised but they came up and Frank looks very good. He was wounded in the head but I don’t know how or where or what with. Mother liked him very much. I gave him your address and he said he was going to write.

Well, Al I better be closing now. I have some more letters I should be writing.

Hope to see you soon

Love Nancy
