liked you whose father was a dentist in Germany &
has only just now been released & is on his way
home — Geo M. asked a lot about you —

Dick wrote asking to have a share in your
Xmas gift but as it went a month ago
almost he cant very well take part in
that — He is ao far away he does not realize
things still in the [?] of Key West
& hates it — says his vocabulary of swear
words is increasing the longer they stay!

Dearest we are never satisfied to continue
to hanker for more letters from you —
We were so thrilled with your account
