One letter from Bertha Hutton to Leonard Eugene Graeff, dated October 17, 1943. Bertha writes to add on to Edith's letter that she neglected to help Edith address the last letter to him so Edith wrote a new letter to send. She says it has been raining a lot but it is a good thing as the planting can be done. Bertha tells Leonard that he needs to be careful with his foot so it doesn't get worse. Ends the letter stating that it is house cleaning time.
