Sunday evening

Dearest mother:
Some friends
have just called who
left me your letter. I
can't tell you how sorry
I am that you should
have been submitted to
such an outrage, and it
seems almost incredible, too
awful, coming from
the source it did. However,
I may now never have use
for the dictionary, as I have
been very ill, and the worst
is yet to come. I was brought to the
hospital last Thursday. Oh, so sick
