Dear Joe,

Received your letter, flowers and lovely Mother’s Day card for which I wanted to thank DeLores and you.

Rose send me a lovely Broch for Mother’s Day, she never forgets. I really feel very sorry for her, but there is nothing I can do.

Dear Joe I am glad to hear that you are happy and I hope it will last all the time in your life. So I have to make the best of everything. I just hope this war is over and with God’s help all the boys come home soon.

With regards from Bernice, she will write you soon. With loads of love to DeLores and yourself from your loving,

Mother
