(seq. 98)

friendly talk with the people there. I have mentioned
you in my letters to Mr. Blomberg and each time
I write to him I write of my great friend the Doctor.
By the time you visit me he will be glad to meet you.
At least I am doing all I can to bring that about.

There is not much point in my trying to discover
anything from so great a distance.

I hope your mother is well and in a happy
frame of mind. Give her my best wishes.

You asked about my family - As far as I know
they are well - My sister Mary took an exam to get a
state beauty shop license - Don't know how she came out

I have begun my fifteenth year here and am
hoping it will be the last, but wouldn't bet on it.

This is not a very good letter, Doctor. I hope
you will excuse it on my promise to do a
better job next time.

Every yours,
