"Aug. 4, 1944
"Dear David: - Just a line to let you know that we are thinking of you and wonder how you are? Haven't heard from your mother lately. It is very hot and dry here. We need rain for the corn and gardens. Hope this little greeting finds you well.
Love, Matt, Rosetta (may be Rosette) and Ida"
