Dear Folks,
I guess you took too good care of me when I was a kid so I am having all of my childish diseases now. Last Wed. the 13th I came in here (the hospital) with the mumps. I have them on both sides and they are swelled something beautiful. They say it is the best looking specimen of mumps they have had in the hospital for some time. I am getting along alright and hope to be out of bed in two or three days, but will have to stay in this building for 21 days from the time I come in regardless of whether I am well a lot before that time. We get the very best of treatment here so I am going to get a fine rest.
This is about the only news I have this time.
Lovingly,
Joel
