Dear Anna:

Received you most welcomed letter and I am happy to hear you are well and are doing OK.

I am glad to hear mom is in the best of health and I hope that she will always be that way. Received the letter you sent me and you all seem to be enjoying the very best of health. Rosalie seems to be quite a young lady now and Betty is looking well but a little worried. Mom looks very well and of course you seem to be in tip top shape and I hope you are taking good care of yourself for you will need plenty of vitality to keep up with me when I come back. There are a few things I would like you to send me if it is possible as had the misfortune of loving some of my personal things.

A Gillette razor the metal kind, a good shaving brush, two shaving sticks, a pipe or two, Tooth Powder, a case for my glasses like the one you sent before and a fountain pen.

I will greatly appreciate it if you will do this for me and I send you my great sincere love and I want you give everyone at home my Best regards.

Forever, always yours

Tony
