I wrote Willie a letter the same day I wrote you last. He has never written me yet but if he gets my letter propably he will write then. The time is slipping by, how is Hubby, Dan, Joe, Edith, L E [??] U. and let me know how Bob is coming along. He will be alright for it is a big job to kill a good man. Will write a few cards to the kids later when I get [s]ome place to buy em. [T]here is a small town

The mess Sarg got hold of a few nuts and candy, and they sold like hot cakes. please excuse the pencil mama, my pen is without ink. Have a letter from Elizabeth and Alice, will write them soon. Will close now, give my regard to papa, and you and him get away from the house and see a good time once in a while. write real soon, send some more photos.

With love and best

George
