Nancy's mother writes Nancy to let her know Chuck and his fiancee, Vicki, visited her. Chuck had also tried to visit on prior occasions, however no one was home. Nancy's mother reports that Chuck looked well, drives a Datsun now, and gave Vicki a hope chest. Chuck has been working in Indiana and Kentucky, and Nancy's mother suggests he may visit Nancy too next weekend when Nancy is home. Nancy's mother also mentions she had a hard work week. She inserted an invitation (not included) in the mail for Nancy as well.
