Dear Folksies,    

           Yesterday I finally managed to get some mail from you, tho’ with the mail situation still messed up, I see that I’m missing one of Mom’s letters and some of Dad’s. All were certainly most welcome, as that was the only mail in 3-1/2 weeks – I haven’t received any from Lois and wonder whether she has gotten mine.

        Thanks for the birthday wishes, but as I’ve told you, my birthday was officially postponed and I think Lois’ will likewise be postponed a few days anyway.

        Perhaps, however, she has already received the packages you mention. I hope so.

                                                                                                              Loads of love,

.

Next letter…
