ask for news of you all the time –

Jocelyn Bates feels pretty wretched with
that collar. It hurts him very
much. He is to go on Friday to the Dr again
& see if it seems to be doing the trick.

Jack wrote your Father that he will
probably be here in about a week
with John & Aunt E. You may
be sure they will miss you too.

I must [underlined] say goodnight dearie
with fondest love from us all
to you. – Sweet dreams.
Ever your loving mother
