Dear Billy,

I received a letter from you yesterday so happy to hear everything is going so nice with you.

Harry Bolton is going in the Navy tonight at 9 o’ clock, Holden is living with Ruth he enlisted you know.

Did you read in the papers Al Smith passed away this morning, he had been sick most of the time since his wife passed away in May.

Helen and I were to the Capitol yesterday to see the Seventh Cross it was very good, Spencer Tracy had to title role and he is always good.

Sorry you have not received any mail or packages but hope by this time they have reached you.

Love from,

Your Mommy
