Sending you thousand thanks for the card that you sent. It was nice that you have not forgotten us either. I see from that card that you are having a good time, that's good, yes, that was nice to hear. I wish you could send us a picture so that we can see you now that you have become completely Americanized, from what I have heard. Please say hello to Aunt Lina from all of us. You are greeted from Lars, Jannikke, Else. Send us a card back.
Greetings,
Else
