Dearest,

This will be your welcome home letter. And I certainly hope that it finds you at home and feeling better. You must be careful though, and take things easily - doing no more around the house than is absolutely necessary.

I hated to leave, but everything seemed to be in good order and Linda promised she would take care of the place. My main concern is about you after you get there. This last ordeal has been more serious and will take you longer to recover your strength.

My trip to W-S was uneventful. I took the bus to Jacksonville and then the direct connection on through, - by Eastern, that is. I found I would get no credit for going on the bus all the way (as a matter of fact it would have cost me). The reason was the return air ticket was charged to the Bahnson Co. and any credit thru cancellation would simply go back to the company.

I had purchased my bus ticket clear through, so now I have sent the unused portion back to Jacksonville for my refund.

Do hope the bill at the hospital was not shockingly high this time. The credit of $75 may have helped. Let me know immediately how you made out about the note this time.

Good thing I came back when I did. They had conducted some experiments during my absence and were completely off the track. Agnew had gone to NY and so I have not seen him yet, but J. Frank was here.

Linda may have told you that we sent Agnew and J. Frank each a box of oranges, grapefruits and tangerines. they were shipped by express but so far have not arrived.

Talked with Mrs. Y before I left. Thanked her for taking care of Linda. She said she was happy to do it and for me to send her best wishes to you.

As you will see, I took my topcoat and warmer jacket. It is really winter up here today. Looks like snow. Maybe it will snow before morning. I am working at the lab tonight, as I will do every night. Am very anxious for all this to turn out right.

With all my love,
