Dear Anna:

Received your most welcomed package and I want to thank you all for everything you sent me and I want you to know I certainly appreciate everything you all do for me.

I have the books the candy and the powder to a family who had several small children including an infant. I hope you don’t mind me doing this. It seemed as though they had never seen anything like that before.

If you were here I am sure you could help and understand these people, but in general I cannot understand what they say most of the time.

According to the pictures you sent me in the package you and Elsie look as though you are both enjoying thee very best of health and you all still look as beautiful as ever. There is no need for me to say anything as I can see you are taking good care of yourself which is just what I want you to do Sweetheart.

I hope that mom and everyone else is also in the very best of health. (I send you all my love)

Best wishes and good luck to all.

Forever always, Your Tony
