April 24 1945 Grandma


Apr 24-45

Dear Jack:
    Received your letter today sorry to hear you still have a cold. We had to have fire in the furnace again but it is warmer now.  Finny Alice and Judy went home today.  Finny was better gained 7 or 8 lbs.  He was not so nervous either.  Alice was better.  I gave Chick the $15.00 as soon as I cam home.  Finny is going to have the Dr. give him a checkup and let him know when he can go to work.  I guess David will be glad to see them as he slept at home by himself.  He got his breakfast and supper at Shirleys.  I hope it does not get as hot as I have to do some house cleaning.  I hope tis finds you O.K. and not working to hard.  Write when you can.

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
