Dear Jack.
    Have not heard whether you got the money or not.  I guess you are busy getting started in school.  Well Don leaves Phila tonight and his personal things are being sent home so that does not look so goo.  Judy and Omie at Mac's on a picnic n the 4th. She had a nice time.  I got three nice ripe tomatoes off the vines on the 3rd.  That is unusual. I picked two pans of beans this evening have to put them up tomorrow.  We are still having nice weather pretty hot through the day but gets nice and cool at night.  Sending you a clipping as I guess you know the fellow.  Bob got paid yesterday $46.00 for two weeks.  I will take your watch in when I go in and get it foxed sometime.  I hope school will not be to hard.  Well I guess there is nothing new.  Will look for an ans. soon.  Love, Grandma

July 26-45 Dear Jack:     I received the ins certificate you took out.  I do hope you will soon have the Japs whipped and that you will be able to take a rest.  We know you are in the fighting and I listen to all the news broadcasts thinking I will hear they have surrendered.  We are having some awfully hot weather here.  It rained last night and cooled it off a little.  Finny has not heard of a job yet.  I hope he soon gets one. Judy is just the same.  She is not feeling very well.  David is full of poison ivy.  N. Kensington playing bingo and as usual your grand mother Reitz was game. Bill is in the Aspinwall Hospital.  Nothing too serious.  I  guess there is no news from around here.  Hoping this finds you well and write when you can.                         Love Grandma
