I think I will come out .!!
right in th* end. This is m .
lir-t experience with hospitals
and I rau-t say that I do 1 ot
care to go there again for a
time. I weighed mvself todav
and tipped the beam at 127
pounds and I am sure I li
gained at least ten pom
since I came out of the hospital, so '.ou can imagine w
[ look like. I shall not be able
to do hard work for the next
three or four weeks. As sen 1
as I an strong enough I shall
go to Sp. Lake and visit cousins Peter, Joe and Mike and
Mrs' folks. We intend to
stay a week or ten days and
the way I shall gro af ier chickens, won't be slow; thev are
plentiful out here. What will
