i received your letter yesterday i was very anxious to hear from you i was in hopes your thumb had got nearly or quite well but i suppose the least little thing irritates it and puts it back but if you can only come through without any bad effect or any stifness you must be content and thankful its very tedious to have it so long sore but if it comes out all safe at last
i got the 2 radicals one i got one day and the other the next i set right down and read it that Lady seems to understand your writing better than ever any one did before as if she could see right through you she must be a highly educated woman

i got a few lines from heyde he says han aint very well that she has a swelling on the side of her face and ear has been three weeks that it pains her the doctor dident say what he thought it was but gave her something to rub it with i wrote her a letter last week telling her the reason of your not writing to her heyd says she is better off there as she has every thing conveinent i got a letter from matty about a week ago she was quite well she said mr Lane was there visiting them) i suppose walt you havent taken possession of your new room yet) i felt real bad to have you go away when you was so lame but i suppose you got along i hope when i hear again it will be better i suppose you showed it to doctor
