Dear Doris - Well how is my little girl today?  I am just fine.  We didn't work this afternoon it has been raining here about all day but is clear now.  We sure had a swell feed today.  Going to an old time dance tonight but I would jas as leave stay home as I don't think we will have much fun.  I am looking for a letter from a girl I love tomorrow and hope I am not disapointed.  We will



get through here this week so send my letters to Skidmore Mo. and I hope there will be one waiting for me when I get there.  I kinda hate to leave this place as these folks are sure nice.  There's a boy here the same age as my self and he is in the same condition that I was a year ago only he can't use either of his legs.  I have been helping cary him from one room to another and lots of little things like that.  He and I have


got to be real pals.  He is taking electric treatments and he says they are helping a lot.  So I think I will try it when I get enough money, "If I ever do."  Has your gum drop been down to see you lately?  And how are you and Oscar getting along.  Well I must close as supper is ready.  Be a good little girl and write to me every day.

                                                                          With lots of love
                                                                                      Ted

  1. I would expect the writing paper to be not so fancy but I guess these letters were "extra special" to Ted... with a matching envelope to boot. Go Ted!
