Dear Folks,
After getting so darned many packages this week I'd better at least write a few lines on something. Here I've been waiting for packages and darned if I didn't get six of them one day. My gosh, I've been eating like a pig trying to get rid of it. Its to hard to handle when we move around. They came through in good shape and they really hit the spot. I found an old set of scales and I hit 180 lbs so you can see I'm no starving. Looks like I'm the heavy weight of the family anymore. I got a package from Margret Mourer, Aunt Dephia besides the ones from you. Mom, thank them for me will you? I hate it that I can't write them myself, but its just too much. I may get too it later, but not now.
I got the knife from Ken and it is really a beauty. He probably told you (over)

Saving...
