you a job. 1 am so anxious to see you succeed and get back to work.
in the fine way that you succeeded a few years backe You will find )

me your friend and I do not want you to disappoint me in any waye

Of course there will be times when you will be discouraged and when
you will wonder if you can make it, but I want to tell you here and
now that you can count on me helping you at every turn of the road.
Nothing would give me more genuine pleasure than to see you come
out of 4t and resume your normal place in society.

I. want you to write me often and tell me of your desires and of your
problems. Your mother wote me and told me that your wife and your

 

mother have been over to see you and that you took a fine ride and ene

joyed yourself very much. Do everything thet your physicians and
your helpers over there tell you to do. They're working for your

 

benefit. They're just as friendly to you and want to be as helpful to
you as I, I want to see you have success and after all success in life
