Dear Dr Van Waters

I do hope you are a lot
better, I was so very thankfal
to get such a nice letter from
you and the $5,00 it done me
so much good. I bought me
a nice wash dress with [$2.99?] of
it and the rest of it went
for something to eat
I am suffering terrably with
my legs they are all raw on
the back. I have to set up
all night in a big chair and
put me feet on 4 rubber pillows
because I cant lay my legs
on the bed they are so aufle
sore. Its awful [E?] hard for me
as I was always so active.

I got a nice letter from
