I sincerely hope the weather is favourable. The weather here has been cold, damp and back- ward this year. I have been sick with a very rare and incurable dis- ease called "Disseminated Lupus Fsyathematosus" , which -can only • be controlled by the drug Prid- nisone which unfortunately has many side affects one is that it puffs my face up and thus makes me look fatter. If any one can give me any information concern- ing the treatment , etc. etc. as Doctors here seem to know very little, although :I understand 5000 die of it every year in the United States - I would certainly apprec- iate -hearing; tr ha,-hirthe' gland`s in my right leg which are very painful and I can only walk by the use of a cane. I have had to sell my home here and am moving in- to a suite the end of the month, so can not get away at this time. I shall be thinking of you and Good Luck and Success, as I know the Old Home Town newer lets anyone downand you will really "Roar in 74". / Kindest regards to everyone. • Very sincerely, Mrs. M. E.
