Friday[1] –
Dear Mother Richert[2] –
Please
forgive me for not writing sooner but I found things in such a mess I didn’t
have the head to do anything – thank you so much for letting me stay with you[3] –
I enjoyed it very much even if I did get home-sick. I hope your hands are
improving[4]
and things are running smoothly - I hope I will get to see you again.
Love,
Lillie[5]

In April of 1945, Friday was the 20th. Postmark could be 25 or 26.
Perhaps the writer had to wait for some reason before mailing or forgot about
it.

Addressed to: Mrs. Barbara Richert; 1130 T St.; Fresno, Calif.

Uncertain what kind of guest she was. Since no mention of BBR’s children or
other relatives, the connection is probably not familial. The salutation “Mother
Richert” suggests the letter writer is younger.

BBR suffered from arthritis.
