Dear Folks,<\/p>\n

This Easter Sunday seem to be getting stronger and stronger each year. Truly didn’t seem much like Easter but guess that is to be expected. We didn’t have church till four this afternoon but guess the Chaplain had many stops before getting to our abode. Even at that we probably went to church a couple hours before you did if you consider the time zones.<\/p>\n

There isn’t any thing new to write about and there isn’t any sense in boring you on repetition. I imagine all of you went to church this morning. Dad, if I remember right you really tried to make church on Easter.<\/p>\n

In Zoe’s last letter she told about Ruth<\/a> not being able to reserve a room in Phoenix, so she wouldn’t be going for awhile. She didn’t know when she would be going to Chicago as she had planned to go after Ruth left. Hope she is able to visit you , and take good care of her. Hope to see all of you before so very long. –<\/p>\n

With love,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n
