Dear Buba,
Today it is "lazy Sunday." I got up a little later. I had a good breakfast, went to mass, had a couple of hours of sunshine, had lunch, had my "siesta" in the shade, read some one hundred pages of the history of England, enjoyed the sunset, which was beautiful, and now while the radio is bringing in some operatic music I am writing this letter. I forgot to tell you that this afternoon I did also my washing which dried in half an hour, being unusually warm, dry and windy. I did also another thing; I prepared and deposited for mailing a package which I hope you will receive in time for "mother's Day." This time I am sending you little things which you can use. I put in also 2 little pieces of candies, so Gisia won't be disappointed, the palm leaf I had for Palm Sunday and also a woolen cap for Gisia which I had when in Missoula. Last week I sent you a check for $14 which I hope you have already received. As I wrote you in my last, I wish Gisia to use the pen we gave her to write me the two letters a week she promised. I received your telegram and I am glad you informed Eivita [?]. Let's hope everything will be well so we may be soon reunited. I interrupted this letter to hear the speech of the President over the situation in the coal mining industry. For me it is inconceivable that in war time, while hundreds of thousands fight and die, there should be people in the nation, who earn ten dollars a day and more, who want to strike to get more money. Well, such is human nature. In closing, best regards to friends and relatives and lots of kisses to you and our Gisia. Carmelo.
