Dear Dr Van Waters

I was pleased to hear
from you - I was just thinking of you
whne Mr Keefe came, I thank you
for - things you sent, I sure have
soup to last me for some time, one
can, does me twice, I enjoyed the cherries
Dr I am so sorry - they are still on the
job, I often wonder - what will happen
if some one else - ever gets your place
You have saved many lives, and
given hope - to many more - when
life looked hopeless - as it once did
to me, politics to day are bad.
why not take Tewsbury-Bloomingdale
Asylum - I know they are bad
do they do any thing I wish I
could be of some help. I know
from experience, I would rather
die, under your Framingham
conditions, than many things
I see daily - no attention is
given - until something happens
then it is to late
