<salute>Dear Kate, Alfred and Eva,</salute></opener>
<p>Welcome to
these United States of America.
I do hope and pray you will
always be happy and contented
here and that the Lord will bless
you with good health and prosperity.</p>
<p>We will try and see you soon
in Lincoln for we are all anxious
to make your acquaintance.</p>
<p>Ruth Ann is so sorry she
will not be able to meet you in
Chicago. She is at home already
for her Christmas holiday vacation
and won't return to Chicago
until January 4th.</p>

<p>Things will seem very different
for you at first but you will
soon accustom yourself to the
change.</p>
<p>I enjoyed your letters to my
birthday so much and many
thanks for your good wishes.
I had such a lovely day with
all our children home and our
adorable grandchild. Janice of
course is the main attraction
for everyone when she is here.</p>
<p>We must get together and
talk about our grand children!
Hannah is a lovely baby and
so healthy looking. You can be
very proud of her!</p>


<p>Hope you have nice weather for
your landing and the few
days you spend in New York. It
has been a beautiful Autumn
and do hope the Winter won't be
severe.</p>
<p>We expect to spend Christmas
in Nevada with Helen and Milton
if the weather is nice enough to
drive.</p>
<p>All wish you a pleasant trip
to Lincoln and good luck in
every way.</p>
<closer><salute>Love from</salute> <signed>Fred, Juliette, Ferna Jean
Ruth Ann, and Rose.</signed></closer>
