Transcription

Dear Heather, Wed.
I hope you like the enclosed gifts that you requested.
Lucinda did it all and I sure appreciate the time she spent-
Leon + Lucine take 8-16-1940. We had a Wedding breakfast at Lake View - not
far from your farm.
I can't see too well tonight
hope you don't mind
We were both 26 when
we married - Leon was 27
the next month and I was
27 in May 1941

Merry Christmas
Have a Healthy,
Happy New Year.
Don't get ill this winter.
I had pneumonia
and a bad throat -
almost better.
Merry Christmas
to Archery and parents
Lance + Sis are

Lucine + alll

Chère Heather, mer.
J'espère que vous apprécierez les cadeaux ci-joints que vous avez demandés.
Lucinda a tout fait et j'apprécie vraiment le temps qu'elle a passé-
Léon + Lucine prennent le 16/08/1940. Nous avons pris un petit-déjeuner de mariage au Lake View - pas
loin de votre ferme.
Je ne vois pas très bien ce soir
j'espère que cela ne vous dérange pas
Nous avions tous les deux 26 ans quand
nous nous sommes mariés - Léon avait 27 ans
le mois suivant et j'étais
27 mai 1941
<page>
Joyeux noël
Ayez une bonne santé,
Bonne année.
Ne tombez pas malade cet hiver.
j'ai eu une pneumonie
et une mauvaise gorge -
presque mieux.
Joyeux noël
au tir à l'arc et aux parents
Lance + Sis sont
à venir samedi si c'est bon
météo du jour
Amour
Lucine + tout
