1st of January 1926.
Dear brother!
I can tell you that we are all alive and well thank all mighty God and we wish you the same. I received your letter which you wrote on 28 of February 1925 in it was one dollar and a check on 20 dollars. What you write about sending on 23 of October 20 dollars we didn’t receive that. We did receive 31 dollar in September in 1925 and I wrote to you about it. Nothing else is new or special, only that our sister Cvita is getting married. Now receive a brotherly greeting. Also receive greetings from our mother, with love and kindness as you always show in your letters and with money you send. And recognizing her as a parent. Receive greetings from your sister in law, your sisters and brothers in law.
With respect your brother Mato.
Now my dear brother let me tell you what is new. Our Cvita is getting married to Andrija Bakovic best man of Frane Medara. The wedding will be within few days. Nothing else is new, it is nice weather here during last few days. Now my dear brother don’t wait so long to write a letter, write more. Now receive a greeting from your brother and say hi to Nikola our brother.
Bye your brother
Josip
