Dear
Robert:-
Well, we really got a pleasant surprise
yesterday[1]. Sally got the mail first,
and she said your first are back reported
[2] about it and I had just
wrote wondering when I would hear from you. And am glad to hear you read the
letters. Yes I realize there is not much to write about, but whenever you find
time, write and I will keep up my part. I wish I knew just what to send you. I
will try and find something do you get candy well. I guess most anything will
be welcome. Today is Wash. Birthday folks are out tonite There is not so much
to go to here as it was on Mare Island. Yes we hear over the radio the mud and
all the hard going. I pray ever day it will soon be over. It has been a very
cold winter every where in the coast it really was bad. Can you read my letters.
yours was well written. and now till next week
good
luck & best wishes
Love
Aunt
Beth
[1] Note
that the original punctuation and sentence capitalization is not consistent and
correct. Every unusual was not identified in the transcription. For those
interested in investigation further, please consult the original.
[2] This transcription
is troublesome. Up to ”first” and after “about”
are quite clearly correct. So it is logical to assume she is talking about some
sort of communique from Robert.
