Dear Nick,

Received your letter and also the money which we thank you very much. I was terribly disappointed about you not coming home. Pee Wee didn’t come home either and he also didn’t answer my letter, he may be in maneuvers and has no way of getting in touch with us. There isn’t much news around here. August and the gang came home for over the week-end. I only spoke to Mary. Pop is ready to put the paper on the roof. Lately we’ve been having rain and some holidays. That is what keeps Pop back from working. If it would be nice for a while we would get something done around here. I got all new window shades except for the living room and the dining room. I want Venetian blinds in there. Nick, how did things turn out for you about this Army business?

I got two letters from Siller. So far I haven’t answered any one of them. Well, to-day is Labor Day and we’re not keeping it as a Holiday.

Well, I think I’ll close my letter now, there isn’t anything to write about any way. Try to come home as soon as possible. Closing with loads of love and give our love to George.

Mother, Dad, Frankie & Sis.

P.S. Answer soon.
