Dear Foster Parents:
I want to thank you from the
bottom of my heart for the money
order which I received. Mother
also is very grateful to you.
I cannot give you this month
my report in detail because many
of my classmates had the flu.
Mother and my brothers are sick.
The good weather is back and
when mother is well again I shall
work with her in our garden. We
have to cultivate vegetables as
they are so very expensive.
In May, I shall make my first
Holy Communion and my brother
also. If you only could be with us
