3) I think that I get up and leave until something keeps me at home again. My dear mommy do you hear anything about ours of Kopanice how they are? they haven’t written me for such a long time so I always think of how my poor mommy is for she is always so unhealthy. My mommy you have asked if Pavel can work with his hand thank God it’s almost as steady as the second hand when we got married it was still not properly healed but now it doesn’t open anymore after all he would draw a pension however after the New Year’s Day they took him more than a half anyways they did it not just to him but to everybody who was wounded and drew a pension: but I’m more happy for the hand is healed than for all pensions: after all as a sole trader he always earns enough money and we don’t expect us to get rich because few people got rich of manual work in America. I think that we’ll have some addition to our family and this will be more precious for us than all riches we have nothing new to write you about warm regards to you all one more time and we remain your faithful children Verona Paul Kovacs This is our address Paul Kovacs, Box 38, Hawleyville, Conn.
