Dear De and Joe,

Received your letter and don’t get blue on me. I had the kids all in for supper but Dar for Dad’s birthday. Eileen and Donald gave Dad cigarettes. Addie was a month early. Eileen has her leg in a cast. Was run down by a bicycle had a big tommy on her head and cracked her ankle. She can’t go to school but is doing her work at home.

It is after 11 so I better turn in as I can’t take it. I will write more tomorrow. I wish I could give you a piece of pinabble pie.

Hugs and Kisses to my own little girl always,

Mother
