My Dear Miriam:

I was pleased to hear from you again honey and I am pleased that you are so happy and contented.  I hope you are fine these days.  I presume you must be quite busy getting things together these days.  I’m afraid honey that this letter isn’t going to be very well written as I am very tired after flying so much lately and just don’t have the patience or energy.  Anyway dear I’ll do my best.  Boy Sis you sure must be in love they way you wrote those phrases in you letter, really they are a masterpiece.  This lad of yours must be some guy.  I sure wish I could get a lass you thought as much about me – ha-ha.  Don’t forget to send me a wedding picture.  I sure want to have a good look at that wedding dress you are getting together. yes Mimi dear I guess we didn’t get along so well at times, but you try and tell me what brothers and sisters about the same age who did get along.  You were stubborn – so was I, you were silly, so was I, it all boils down to the fact that we were both good, healthy, stubborn, and downright hearty kids and Canadian kids at that and doggone proud to be so too eh?  No I didn’t know Helen [Reside?] at least I don’t remember her, I remember the name tho.  Yes honey I guess you are getting a little tired of the hospital especially now eh?  I’m fine at present honey and still going strong.  Say don’t forget to send me a piece of your wedding cake now!  It sure is nice over here at present Mimi; I sure hope it keeps up, lots of sun, warm winds – no clouds – that’s a flyer’s dream.  All I need’s a girl friend and I’ll be darned if I can find one to suit me – after 10 months over here too.  Well I must hit the hay now dear, so Adios and god bless you in what ever you do.  Loads of luck and plenty of mush. 

Your “big” bros.
Pete.
