He's alive!

Dear Daddy,
:53:41
We're all so glad you've written.
:53:45
and that you are well,
:53:47
but I am sorry that you have to do
voluntary work in that mine.
:53:53
I'm writing this on the slate you brought me
:53:57
and Mama will copy it out on paper for you.
:54:00
We raised the money to visit you
:54:03
by selling the carpet from the living room.
:54:07
Only Franjo misses the carpet.
:54:10
He said, "What shall I beat now? "
:54:13
But later he whispered to me,
:54:15
"I'll be beating other carpets of Mesa 's. "
:54:19
I gave Mama the money
I'd saved for a football.
:54:23
So don 't worry. We're coming.
:54:26
You can expect us for sure on April 1 st.
:54:31
Lots of love, Malik.
