[body of letter]
Dear Dr Miriam Van Waters,

I arrived home safely
and mighty happy also. What a pleasure
it was to be in a home once more
and be with real people again.

I will admit that the experience's has
done me the world of good of the seeing
with my own eyes the suffering and
torture that liquor will cause a person
to go through specially while I was in
the hospital on my special duty for
your dear friend Mrs Castle. at the time
that I took care of Mrs Castle the dear
old soul, I saw what I had never seen
before and that was women being brough
there with D.T. really Dr I saw them women
climing walls and holloring and seeing things
on the walls that just simply horify them
and it just about frightened me to death
to really see there condition and the cause of it
all
