May 22 1945 Grandma

May 22-45
Dear Jack:
    I received your letter and of course I was afraid you would be sent to the Pacific.  I sent you a letter that came here from an OUS.  I think maybe his name was Kennedy but are not sure.  I hope you get it as I sent it to N.Y.  Am sending you two books and will send more also going in town to get you the socks.  I toud you in the other letter.  Finny is working so I will bank your money for you.  We are having warmer weather the last 2 days but the paper has rain today.  The Ianstone twins each have 92 piruts but I don't think that would leave them out of the army.  I am suppose to go up to the farm this week end with Dick and Irene.  Lester Watson who lives in back in the house with Cotter's is to leave the 31st of this month.  Well Jack be good and we will all be praying that it ends soon and you will soon be home.  Write as often as you can.
        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
