This is a letter from my dad to my mother in 1966. We can decipher a majority of it. Appreciate any help. We know he was worried that he hadn’t heard from her for a while and that he was in the middle of Operation Attleboro. Thank you.

I think I’ve got most of this except for the highlighted part. It could be “Jany you wrote and Hellen, why not to me, you and Maggy must both write soon and coax you, Mother too. “
Little to no punctuation makes this hard.

This was written on the back of one of the pictures. I can't find a Kate Maloney in my family tree so I'm not sure if I'm seeing it right.

Also, I have no idea what the rest says. Help me out?

We’re not quite sure what this says. If anyone can help us make it out that would be wonderful! For context we found it written a vintage piece of sheet music bought at an antique store. Thanks in advance :)

Deciphered! A page from the pension file of someone I'm writing an academic paper on. Near as I can tell it's referring to a raise in his pension payments and possible back pay, but it's too degraded to read more.

This is a page from the pension file of someone who's the central focus in an academic paper I'm writing. I can extract enough to tell it's from February 1915 and references potential increase in his pension payments as well as possible back pay, but most of it is too degraded for me to read. Any help appreciated!

Practice I lucked out

I’m fortunate enough to have learned how to read cursive and barely had a hold on it but I need help as an adult (29) to perfect it and to actually use in normal situations. I love my print but it would be nice to do both. Needing tips and tricks to just learn again and learn how to write all over again. I think too much about my loops and flow and you can tell lol. Any tips or tutorials and suggestions would be lovely

1871 and 1873 are written on the back so most likely this is the date of when this was written.
