Dear Mother + Dad -
Hello, I hope all our still well. I received your letter a couple of days ago, glad you are all well after you wrote. I write each week, the mail was slow during Dec. and Jan. I suppose that is the reason you haven't heard from me, now that X-mas is over they'll some faster. I imagined you will be glad when spring comes and I bet it had been pretty cold there, it has been cold and snowy where Georgia and Bruce are. I'll be glad when it warmed up and Bruce will be able to get out and play, a lot of sunshine and fresh air is good for a small child, he is really growing and such a healthy little rascal. I hope he will always be like he is now. Georgia says he is all boy and a mischievous little rascal too. I'm glad he is this way and we are both really proud of our boy. I know I'm the proudest man in the world of my wonderful little wife and son. I hope I can soon go home to them and never leave them again. I had a letter from Bob this week he seems to be O.K. Tell [Duck] I hope he is through his pruning by now. I'm sorry that [ineligible] baby had fever sick, but glad he is all right now. I suppose he is getting to be a big boy. By the way, where is [ineligible] husband. I would imagine he'd be in the Philippines, the [ineligible] on that [ineligible] a swell job and are beating the [ineligible] in every way now. If Bob is sent this way, hope I can see him, if he has a stop over here before going out. Well, I guess you'll begin preparing to plant your crops soon. I believe Easter comes April 1st this year and after that it is usually warm. I hope you make a good [ineligible] this year and you'll be able to get enough help, it is pretty hard to get now, I know. Will sign off for this time and I hope all are well. Tell all hello. Good nite for now
Love to all,
Bill -
