I greatly enjoyed them. We cannot get little necessaries where we are now. At any rate not so often. Mother wrote me saying she had seen you.
Excuse this rather disjointed letter won’t you?
Someday I hope to be able to thank you personally for your many many kindnesses to me
Until then good-bye and Best of love from Yours very sincerely Joe
P.S. The smudges are not mine all this paper seems to be the same.
