    Dear Franc:-

    Well we’ve been well over a week without any mail from Can.

    But then I’m going to write to you anyway. I haven’t had a letter from you since you got your tonsils out.

    The last letter I have was from Onn. When she was staying with you after you came back from the hospital (having your tonsils out). Well I hope some mail soon comes in anyhow. I wrote Aunt Lil. A couple nites ago & to La Verne last nite. I And I don’t know whats the matter with me, but it seems like I write to Onn, every nite. I guess I must be love sick. Since I’ve read some of your letters what you say about her. Well I guess it makes me feel more towards her. Well I guess she’s worth having for a girl friend. The way she writes to me & the things she says. Well —I won’t say no more. I’ll have to write her another letter to-nite.

    Gee I wished some of your mail would come so I’d know how you are feeling. You can’t imagine how much I’ve thought of you this past week &wondering how you are.

    Has Elton had any more word about getting into Fords. You said that Murray told you, he might get in this winter. I hope he gets in anyhow!

    Well Franc. I can’t think of much to say until I hear from you again & it’s about supper time. Altho we just had some coffee & cake about an hour ago. I wished you could see our little police office here. We are quite proud of it. Be sure & write me as often as you have time Franc. I go to a show about one nite a week & the rest of my spare time I just write letters. So you know how anxious I am to receive letters. Well I’ll close for to nite

    Your Loving brother
    Harry

    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

    Dear Sister:-

    Well here it is Father’s birthday. I wonder how old he would be if he were living I’ve thought of him a lot to-day.

    I thought that money would come in handy. Thats why I signed it to you. However I want you & Elt. to make use of it for whatever you can

    Dear La Verne:-

    Was I ever glad to get your letter the other day. I got a bunch of them all at once. And yours was a little more welcome than either Franc’s or Peggy’s I think. Of course I guess I hear from them ofterner is why. But I’m glad to hear from them too as I can sure read a lot of letters over here.
