Dear Anna:

Received your most welcomed letter and Valentine and I am sure happy to know that you are all in the best of health and everybody is OK.

I sure got a big kick from your Valentine as it sure does a fellow a lot of good over here to be thrilled that way once in a while even though we are so far away from each other it gives you a feeling as though we are practically together.

Speaking of dancing I went to visit some people here and they offered me a little wine and I began to feel good and they happen to have a victrola and the first thing I knew I took a hold of one my buddies and we started what was suppose to be dancing the people got a big kick out of it and we sure had a lot of fun (hows about that).

Lots of Love to you and regards to all (Forever always yours) Tony
