To Dr Mariam Van Waters

My dearest friend just a few words to tell you that I dont know why but you are so much on my mind for the past 3 day's. Why are you down again, or is it you that sent a package and wee were not here to receive is as they did not have it but left a card so when wee went to the post office they could not find the package so I wondered if it was you who send that package seen that I ask you for a pair of your old shoes I hope if its you that they will send them back to you dear. If its insured they they keep a package for 30 days befor returning it so I dont just know who send the package other then you dear I had gone for my check up that day. Enough of my troubles. Hope you are much better. I still pray for you dear and will always because you

sure did get me out before you left the big house do you know who is taking your place I hope no one hurt you and your feeling before you leave because you have done to much for so many girls including myself and I shal never forget it beleve me and I will pay you in prayers that all I can pay you with again I want to thank you so very much for all your kindness dear so as ever may I always have you for my friend dear may God bless you and your dear ones so long for now please do write when you can as ever your loving friend Sincerely yours
