April 24, 1944

Monmouth, Ill.

Dear Uncle Leo,

I got your letter just this morning and I am answering it before I go back to school.

You needn’t spend any of your time worrying about whether we will remember you as of course we know exactly what you look like. As for Mary Alice, she recognizes you in every picture and I think and I think she would know you if she met you on the street.

I am glad you thought the picture of the puppy was cute and I hope you like this “pose.” (on the front page)

We have gotten our report cards again and I have still got all “ones.” Bobby has another “one” and so now he has a 1 in spelling and a 1 in reading.

Thank you very much for the “Ten Yen”. I took it to school and the kids were all very interested and jealous of Anne and Bobby. “They have some real live Jap money.”

Any time you want me to cook you a meal when you get back I will cook meals for you till you can’t hold any more.

Last week our teacher’s husband was home so she didn’t teach. Mrs Dave McCrery taught us for the whole week and we thought she was a very nice teacher.

All yesterday afternoon and last night Dad, Mom, and I worked a big jig-saw puzzle. Mother had to go away at 8:00 P.M. in the evening so Daddy and I finished it on the dot of 9:00 P.M.

Hope you are fine and dandy. Everyone back here is O.K. Thanks for the letter. We are always glad to hear whatever we can from our adored Uncle Leo.

Love from All, Anne.
