Dear Sister,
Uncle Ira can read what Albert, satisfied to write with my help, he says, I write alright. Where he came in with the mail, he says you have got a postcard from Uncle Wilfred because it says “preced…” so he was more than pretty sure it was from you to him. What a lovely morning. Love from Florence.
