My dearest:
I received your letter of the 9th and
that is pretty fast service.  Also the
box of cookies and they were excellent. 
I passed them around and the boys 
all thought they were delicious. They
didn't last long but prefer to have 
them go that way, rather than sit
around and no one care for them.
Several of the boys have had 
boxes and one was especially good.
I asked him for the recipe so
you can make some candy like
it.  When he gets it, I'll send it
to you.
What was the check for that Max
gave you?  If there was any kind of a statement you can send it or put it away so I can see it when I get home.  Glad he is getting along better.
You speak about buying out the shop there.  What are they asking for it?  Didn't they agree to sell it to you for what they had in it?  If you think you might buy it, you had better ask them how much it takes and have the dope all ready to think about when I get home.  Don't wait until then to start or it will take too
