Dear Anna,

Received your most affectionate letter and I am always glad to hear from you and the family.

You need not worry about me as I am in perfect health so far and I hope to keep that way. The only thing that worries me at times is my glasses I am trying very hard not to get them broken. The first opportunity I get I will have to get them adjusted. I certainly am glad you have me that case as it affords me the opportunity to take them off on marches and gas drill.

I m very glad to hear that your mother is going to the shore because I know it does her a lot of good in some respects by that I mean as long as she takes it easy and does not try to do too much.

I certainly hope you have gotten rid of your cold in the ear by the time this letter reaches you and I hope you are in perfect health otherwise and if you go down to the shore which no doubt you will. I want you to enjoy yourself and don’t worry about anything.

I received your package with the cookies, candy and belt and I like them very much and the belt is just the right size. I expect to be moved to another place soon where and when I do not know.

It seems strange that anyone would want to break into your home as I can not figure any reason why they would want to do that and upset everybody however don’t worry about it anymore than you have to just make sure everything is locked when you go to bed and when you are not there.

I am glad that Rosalie liked what I sent her as it wasn’t very much but it was something to remember me by.

Give my regards to everybody and tell Erv I took some pictures last Sunday and I think I will send hem to you and have him deliver them.

Always yours,

Tony
