Dearest Folks,

Just a few lines to say hello. Everything is fine up here and the weather us very nice. Yesterday I received a 4 ½ lb box of cookies from Shirley C., the girl that Ben used to go with from down town. It certainly was nice of her and it was a great big box with every kind of cookie in it you can think of. She is a very nice and sociable girl. School is very easy up here. As I told you before, we are taking up typing and all kinds of Military Organization. I sent Irvin Rosen two letters. When you write him again, tell him I sent him two letters. I might have his wrong address, I don’t know. Maybe I will receive some mail from him later on. I got a letter from Ben and he says he is getting along fine. Well, folks this is all for this letter, so take care of yourselves all, and take it easy. Loads of love to all my Dear Mother, Father and Sister.

Love + Kisses,

“Ike”
