Dear Dr. Van Waters
Just a short note to thank you for your help and advice. I am now at the Forestry Camp at South Carver and I'm hopeful things will be much brighter now, especially for my family.
Perhaps, one day, after I have mended my ways, I may be in a position to lead another drive in behalf of Muscular Dystrophy. I should like this to be. You can't imagine how much personal satisfaction I derived from that last campaign, knowing that in some small way I helped a little innocent victim.
With my warmest regards for you and all those wonderful people of your Chapter, I remain.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Doctor Van Waters,
I had hoped to have seen you by this time, but things have been somewhat busy. I have been working as a pressman in a print shop in Boston, and two nights a week I work as a pizza man in a local restaurant. (I was quite good at making pizzas in my younger days and I haven't lost the touch). So much for working.
My biggest problem is that I don't have a driver's license. Its the parole board's policy not to return a driver's license euntil at least six months after a parolee is released. They do make exceptions for special cases and I'm trying to convince them I need a drivers license, especially where I intend to get back into the printing sales field.
Recently I received the MDAA newsletter, and I must admit it is every bit as good as the Camper. I enjoy receiving it and I hope you keep me posted on MDAA activities. As soon as I get a lot of loose ends tied up, and get back on my feet, I would be glad to help out the Chapter in any way I can. How did the Sept. auction go?
Sincerely yours,
