Well whatever vw eel prompted such a
thought as to send me that bogie of
chocolate? Your . lovely long letter
came just �2 day or so before and you
never .mentioned in it you; we're send-

Yes1 wasn't it so funny that .E1 -
more Lang !should ,,come to the ,very
hospital and very ''t;'ard that I was
in. The poor-fellot', I felt so sorry
for him.: Be did not do any' complain-

used to better than most of the "tom -

buy a thousand=things for him, yet I
could 'not show too much preference
for the 'sake of the others in . ,the
ward..
But it its so funny; that .people I
have not soon for sears I have met
