Dear Dr Van Waters

Pleased to receive
you note - I appreciate very much
Mr Keefe kindness - also your
generosity. when I dont hear
from you, I miss a thought
you send, with every word
it means so much to me
some how, coming to Framingham
this 4th of July. some thing had
happened, the good will, and
all the good you have done for
all of the girls, seemed gone
for nothing, Building a home
of good for all. Then some
one comes along - knocks every
thing down, it as taken years
of thought and energy from
your human spirit to build
who ever is behind all this
I may God will punish them
I see quite [are?]
