Dear Jake –
Glad to get a letter so quick, think nothing of not answering my other letters. I was not sure just where I would be by this time, although I will no doubt be here for a few months, having trouble with my feet and legs.
Mothers’ case has us all very much on edge. She returned to the hospital this past week for a possible operation or ex-ray to try to correct her trouble. I am going home again Saturday to be with her while Glenn and his family are there, we will try to all be together once more altho I can not help believe she will fully recover.
Yes I have been wanting to get out but since I have developed this foot and leg trouble I am not so anxious to get out until I am fully recovered.
Jake, I can really appreciate your feelings towards your faithful wife, it did me good to read that in your letter, she is doing a grand job, I know her well, she is my sister.
Best Regards,
Jim

Now I see what Gladys meant: “altho I can not help believe she will fully recover.”
Nice: “Jake, I can really appreciate your feelings towards your faithful wife, it did me good to read that in your letter, she is doing a grand job…” 🙂
I love the line about “I know her well, she is my sister.”
