Dearest Joe,

Received your loving letter and was very glad to hear from you. You know dearest one is nobody wishes you more luck than your Mother, and I know you make good with God’s help.

I pray day and night for my children’s welfare for health and happiness. I want to thank you for those beautiful flowers you sent me for my birthday. Hoping next birthday we will all be together with God’s help.

I had a card from Rose you know she never forgets. I wish you dropped her a line. Well that is all for now dear with loads of love and kisses.

From your loving

Mother
