Dear Lottie and Family,

Haven't heard for so long wonder why.

Did Jill and Tibor send you the pictures of them and the big story I read every word of it and I enjoyed the story too. I made Lars listen to best part of it.

Say whats that about a trip to Hawaii. I can't even spell it let on go see it. I heard you Betty, Marie & Frank were going well just as well tell us all about it for now we are curious. I need a new pen. Have you got any laying around. Im still sick I had flue one night I didn't think I could make it I just fought to get my breath several times doped up with vicks my chest and throat then sick in bed all next day except long enough to cook him some oat meal and thats all I did cook him rest of day. I didn't eat a bit or even drink a cup of coffee. Kept taking vicks 44 then next day Jean come over and said change your dress your going to Dr. she went to phone called for an appointment. Oh he was so mad he wanted me to go to the Clinic at University hospital but I wouldn't go said no was paying Dr. O.K. he went to Arthritis Clinic next week charged him 2.00 and 25 to get in Parking then walk three blocks up that hill last tome I went with him. I had to stop and rest so many times. And the Dr. charged 3.00 he tell Drug store they sent medicene up helped me to but I need some thing to strengthen me. I do all my work but I creeh your mothers phoned come to Lincoln I said I cant I'm sick. Will you write ask Mrs Schultz if I could come to Omaha so I did. She got nice steak and carrots cooked them of they were so good I sure did enjoy them lot meat left and Im eating it its so good. I'm like Betty I love meat but Lars and Martin dont care for meat they can go a year and never miss meat but I want meat once a day but he dont so we dont have much meat only when I get lunch meat and eat that I just get it put it in refrigirator and when I want it get it but a nice piece of steak or hamburger sure tasts good.

He makes me so mad he loves Hawian Punch I get it when I was sick he went had to pay 34 for it had a fit. I thought you got it for 25 I said no the punch costs 34. Well don't buy any more we can't afford it then. Jean phones Im coming up anything you want to eat so I have her list and punch on it so tomorrow I open the punch for breakfast and he wont even say a word if he does Ill throw my oatmeal at him. No I better not do that or I wont have any to eat Ill just say boo hoo keep still and he will forget it till I go to store. Then Ill get a good lecture about your not happy unless you can find some way to spend all of that money and we can end up in the Poor Farm. Our kids arent going to see and if there isnt us out there. So you just as well shut up for I wont.

Well Lottie theres some good laughs in this letter and some heart aches too.

Write soon we get so lonesome. Lots of love from (Lars) and Dora.
