June Gantenbein Suckow sent a card and two letters - all in the same envelope. This letter is written with a pencil. Let's discover why!

"July 7, 1942
Dear Margaret:
Am I a dumbbell! The enclosed letter I addressed to "Springfield, Wash". I wrote a card to Helen1 at the same time - I supposed her card went to "Republic Oreg". I just haven't time to write a new letter, so I'll send it to you anyway. I understand Jim is a little better than you thought. I sure hope that's right. I'm enclosing a card for him - it's meant to cheer..."

"...him up - but if he's not in the right mood for something like that, don't give it to him. (I mean well, but I don't know how he is exactly). The card is too big so I'll mail the letter with the card.
I'm sorry I haven't mailed B.A.'s2 pkg. yet - today I hope - tomorrow sire!
I have strawberries I picked last night on the stove - I'm supposed to go pick raspberries at 9a.m. so I just have to say Goodbye!
I love you all!
June & family
P.S. My pen is in where the kids are sleeping - excuse please!"

Almost 70 years later, members of the extended Greenwell Family are still picking raspberries and making jam!
