All glory to Jesus Christ. I appreciate the money and letter from January 28, 1940. My dear wife, I know there is a lot to do at the end of the year, but the good Lord will help you. Congratulate Janek on his birthday and thank him for his contributions. Vjek needs to improve, or the devil shall get him! Greetings to you and our children, Honuka and her children, Monika, Joll, and all your relatives.
