Dearest Mother,
Just a few lines letting you know that I'm O.K. and in the best of health and hoping that all at
home are the same.
Before I tell you anything about myself mother I want to tell you how glad I was to have you and
daddy and Uncle Joe down to see me yesterday.
It really felt good seeing you all again after not seeing you for over a yr. and a half.
Mother, they still didn't tell what they're going to do to me yet but I heard that some time this
wk. they're going to interview all of us new patients that just came in lately.
They took a test of my blood today mother so at least they're getting ready to do something with
my case anyway.
I hope mother, that you all got home from here in good time and safely too.
I still don't know whether I can come home this wk. end or not yet. They don't seem to tell us
anything around here. But I guess in time they'll give us the low down on everything that's to be
done with us.
Well mother, I guess this is all for now so I'll close with love to you mother dear, daddy and
the kids.
Your loving Son,
"Jimmy"
