My dear Mother&#13;
	I have just received a letter from Mary enclosing a letter from Martha telling all about what a bad time you have been having. Mary McComb had mentioned some time ago you’re having a sore thumb and Joe had written that you had something like a felon on your thumb but as I hear nothing from home about it supposed it wasn’t anything serious. </text>
