The letter to Russell

Page 1

733 Wash. St. Gloucester Ma Jan 7, 1967 Dear Russell, Hi! You are a brave man to fight over in the war. I hope you get out of the hospital soon. If you are in the hospital long I hope it goes fast. Here is a joke. How come bees hum? Because they do not know the words. Did you like school when you were young. I do a little. At home we watch the news. By for now. Sincerly yours, Brian Burn[s?]
