Dearest Anna,

Received your most welcomed letter that you wrote on Jan 8 and I received three packages containing the cookies, candies, tobacco, pipe etc and I want to thank you very much for every thing you sent me.

I am so sorry to hear that you all have colds and I hope you will all get better soon and I am sorry to hear that Rosalie has to go to the Hospital and I hope that she will get well soon. I sincerely hope your mother is better and on the road to recovery.

I am very glad that you took care of my insurance.

I am glad to hear that you received the thirty dollars I sent you.

I don’t know if you are receiving my letters but I assure you that I am writing to you.

According to the newspapers you must be having a lot of bad weather. We are having what they call the rainy season down here but it is never cold here people go bathing here every day just like you do in the summer.

I hope this letter finds you all in the very best of health.

I miss you very very much and I love you very very much Sweetheart.

With Lots Love & Kisses

Regards to all

Tony
