Dearest Hal,

Yesterday I went to Blue Ridge to see “Nana.” When I wrote you last night I was so full of talk about the rug I couldn’t write about anything else. I could hardly leave it long enough to go to see “Nana” but of course I did go any way. She seemed very glad to see me and I was delighted to see how well she was looking. She said she was feeling better that she had since Nov.

Nana had two letters from Billy from North Africa he seems to be enjoying his new experiences. He has a new address; this one is A.P.O #776 2^nd Replacement Depot C/O PM New York City. Billy says he has very little luck in tracking the natives to play football. They loose the ball in their clothes and when they try to kick it they fall flat.

I told you sometime ago to send me a permit to send you two pictures. I took “Nana” one of Sam and she was so tickled to get it. She thinks it is a grand picture of him. I was so anxious to send them cause packages take a long time. Honey, I am so crazy about my rug, do hurry and send the other one. Why not write sometime?

All my love,
