My dear Dr Van Waters

I hope you are well
so pleased - your dear Mother was
remembered - she was a dear to
everyone I was so tired moving
and unpacking - up stairs
and down so many times - no one
to give me a lift - my back hurts

Am not in a condition now to
do there things. Lovely day - am not
able to go out - I am further away
from Library - ours [illegible] is been
very kind so far - all to by for
the other woman - was making a
nervous wreck out of me

I hope things are going better for
you - write me when you can
all my love to you

Affectionately
B. Thornton

P.S. why do some people have
to live

Love to Suvan
