will soon be looking like a
"bochy," wont you? I am
tickled to death over it. keep
on, and you will be O.K.
for I want you to surprise
me when we next meet to
see you looking better than
I ever did, How much do
you weigh now?

Yes I am losing but I
am still not bony by any
means. I presume it is my
female trouble ^{that pulled me down} and my
cough is geting awfully
bothersome, especially at nights
but when warm weather
comes I hope to be better, I
have been trying different
cough remedys but give them
up, yes I, am nearly well
of my female trouble but dear
I suffered O! so awfully
no one can ever know, the
reason I did not tell you dear
