Dear Mother and Dad -
A short note to let you know that I am very fine and hoping that all is
well with you. I have written to Helen. Though still in the hospital I am
in good shape and healing very well. My left wrist is stiff but will be
all right soon. All I do is sleep and eat - and peel the spuds once in awhile!
For now -
Love-Andy

Dear Mother and Dad
-- Just a short note to say that all is well with me and
I hope the same is true at home. We are fairly comfortable here but there
is no place like home. In camp, life is quite different than the hospital.
The food is wholesome but monotonous. More later.
