Dear Mother:—
  Just to let you know I am getting along fine and there is no need to worry. Getting the best of care and able to get out and around. I was out on a walk this morning and I sure had a good appetite when we got back in. We had our first bit of snow yesterday. Just a bit of a flurry. It is very lively scenery around here and puts me in mind of home with its wooded valleys and hills.
