Dearest Friend

We received your letter from home which we are sending to you and hope you’ll write and let us know if you receive it, and it finds you in good health.

For our part we are well and hope we’ll soon be able to get together. I have nothing special to write to you about otherwise.

Many good wishes and we hope you’ll write with good tidings of George Linda and Friedrich Streitberger.

The way things are George Linda passed on a great deal of news to us soon after they arrived here but didn’t give us too many details.
