I hope everything will be in your
favour, you are doing a wonderful
job, some of the girls - never had a
home - as clean and as well kept
as your Institution. Decoration Day
is here again - makes me blue
I go to hospital again - one week
from Monday - I sleep poor - some
day - Ill try to get to Framingham
to see you, I think of you always
you have been a wonderful friend
to me - given me some courage
I had lost, one thing I hope to
prove worthy of your friendship
I had gone down. My love to you
and your dear Mother

Affectionately
B. Thornton
