April 9, 1945[1]
Dear Robert[2]:
Just a note to catch you up on the news
that you've probably heard already. With so many writing from the same place
you must get many versions of identical events.
Julius came home
last night. He will be here until Friday. He was in Berkeley for a conference.
He (untranscibed)[3]
and Ted and Paul.
Paul was home for his birthday. We had
the family here for dinner. I hope they enjoyed themselves – we did.
Julius’s
ring worm is still flourishing. We have tried many treatments we hope we find a
cure soon. Both John and I are very tired of the stuff.
Paul is on a
trip to Denver and way points. He won't be back here for four or five weeks.
Haven’t found any trace of your piggy bank! Maybe it
will turn up.
Love,
Elizabeth[4]

looks as if it starts with “sac” but the end letters do not look like a normal
ending for a verb.
