    Dear La Verne:-

    You can see by this that I have received the cigs.

    Thanks a million dear. I really enjoyed them & now that I’m down to the card I am returning it to you.

    Have had a bad cold this week, but am improving now.

    I will write a letter in a couple days when I feel better.

    I hope you are all well over there. Be sure & write whenever you have time. I will close for now

    Lovingly Yours    Harry
