My dear Ma & Junie;
As I told you in my last letter I was down with cold, well, it did’nt last long as they broke it right away, with a furious sweat, and two days more on my back, I feel very good to-day. And now think that my heart pain has left me for good.
Am keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope you & Junie are keeping fit this winter one cripple in the family is enough.
I am anxious to see what my Dr will say to-day, but I presume I’ll have to stay in bed for this week; it’s madning as I had been up every day up to last Friday.
As yet no mail from you. I am told mail arrived a few days ago, waiting.
Lots of love
Dad
