Your grandsons always keep you on our minds and always hope to go to the U.S. to attend to you and would be happy to receive your instructions. For every letter and remittance you sent home, we have received and passed each of those to mother for housekeeping use. However, currently prices in Hong Kong are soaring, our household budget is extreme, so I hope you will send money regularly for housekeeping use. Currently everyone is well, please don’t worry about us. With that, I respectfully wish you a multitude of blessings and peace.
