Zagreb 7th of April 1950.
Dear aunt!
I received your package not long ago, but I could not answer you immediately. I was very busy studying, it was the end of school year. Now school year is over and I have passed the 7th year of Gymnasium (High school – preparation for University), next year I will finish 8th grade and I will finish high school. Now why am I talking about school? Main cause of my letter is to thank you for the package. I was very happy when I received a note to pick it up at the post office. And when I got it, I was flying home because I was curious to open it. Skates will be great with thick socks, now I am expecting winter so I can skate. And cocoa? That is delicious for me it only saddens me that soon I will see the bottom and I will not enjoy it any more. We used all the dresses, we sent to aunt Anka the red one and pictures. Father and Mother are drinking coffee every day and thank you. I hope you received my second letter where I wrote you that Dolores writes to me so I could get to know her through letters. In the newspapers, you sent in a package we saw her picture from the ceremony when she became a member.
We have very nice spring days here and by the heat, they look like summer days. It looks like we will spend summer on the shore and I am looking forward to that. Now I will finish greeting to you and barba and to all my cousins. Write to us because it is great joy for us.
Vera, Mom and Dad
