Split 8 of March
My dear aunt and uncle I can tell you that I received your letter which made me very happy when I heard that you are all well. I have to tell you sad news that our dear mother died on 19th of February. She was buried in Ogorje, she had a big funeral, the mane at the gate said that he hadn’t seen bigger funeral. My dear aunt and uncle, the rest of the family is well. Our Jandra and Mate live in Poland, they will stay there for four years. Our Ivan got another son Mate and my Ankica has a son Goran. My dear what did you write that your little Kerry told you how we welcomed her and how happy we were to see her. But we had little time, we could talk and that was good, we were so happy with like she was our kid. Dear aunt don’t let her forget our language so we can correspond. She promised to visit again in two years. You wrote a son of Dolores will come to visit. We are so happy, it is like you are coming to visit, only if he comes. We are only sorry that we will not understand each other. Say hi to Kerry for us and tell her to write us a letter. That much for now greetings from our Ivan and all kids. Say hi to your kids especially Kerry. Now greeting from your Pera, Stipe and Ankica.
Love your Pera
