My dear Dr Van Waters
Your welcome letter
received some time ago
I thank you for the Xmas Card
I have not been so well
of late. I was sorry to
have caused some misund
erstanding. But it was
not my fault. I wish
you would [long?] to put
yourself in my place
I did what any fair
minded person would have
done. Not that I want
to be returned. But at times
it is so hard to bear the
conditions. [Mr Alula?] is
away all day he is a
perfect gentleman [I?]
have done all that
