Dear Doughty Lew,
Writing this rainy A.M. to say I'm glad you're letting me care for that foot. Ease up on it.
I intended to mail you something sooner.
How sad not to bother. Will Mrs. Lewis Himelstrib? John said we just might take that offer of helping you next spring. Hope Leid is well.
I'm feeling great. I'm in Cleveland now. You will be in Cleveland Christmas. I'll be in Salem. Love, Mom.
