Dear uncle,
I can tell you that we are well and we wish you the same, good health from God and happiness. And may this letter find you in wonderful time. Dear uncle we are very worried because we haven’t received any letter from you for at least five months and we are afraid that you might be sick or something else happened. That is why I am asking you to answer this letter. Dear uncle I would have written to you sooner but I was in the army and I didn’t have the right address and when I came home, I was expecting your letter. Your letter didn’t arrive and let me write you few words. I came home three months ago but I didn’t go to Split. Nothing new here, father is the same always a little bit sick, mother (this part is unreadable), me and brother Jakov are in Split, Grga is in the army, Ante is at home, and our family is healthy and good. From Cvitas Andrija no words for a long time, he was killed. Not much to write about what else is new, and I don’t know if you will receive this letter. What is that you wrote that you would like to see us. That is not possible because you cannot get a passport for America. I am sending you my picture for you to see me in that way. It is not the best picture because it was not developed good, not good material. Now my dear uncle I ask you to answer this letter as soon as you get it and send it by airplane so it will get here sooner. I am sending this letter by plane, write about how you live, how is Jakov in school and about all your kids.
Now I will finish this letter I am sending you many greetings especially for uncle and aunt. Receive many greetings from all of us especially from me your never forgotten nephew Mate Radja.
