"Dear Mother,

Sorry to take so long to write but I thought sometime might have come up but we're still waiting.

I received your birthday card on the 14th thanks for the thought.

Marina's maiden name was Proosakova, her aunt and uncles address in Minsk is …they don't speak any English, however, her uncle is a army colonel, soon to retire.

You neede'nt worry about my losing American citizenship I can only do that if I want to, and I don't want too.

Marina unfortunately doesn't speak any English at all, I would like her to learn, and I've bought some books for her on the subject, but she doesn't want to learn …

P.S. Did you receive my letter with some pictures of Minsk in it??"
