I received your letter some time ago but I cant get time to answer as time is scarce for writing. We have to stay out on the cure porch most all day and evening. We sleep out also. It is not very cold now. But when I first came up it would be as low as 28 below in the mor. It sure is a lovely place here but I don't want to stay any longer than I can help. I can't see any improvement as yet. In fact I have lost weight. Must close for now. Write when you can. Don't wait for me as I can't tell when I can find time. Will.” Mailed to Mrs. Arthur Converse, Clyde, NY.

Ray Brook N.Y. Jan 29 1919. Dear Sister. I received your letter some time ago but I cant get time to answer as time is scarce for writing. We have to stay out on the cure porch most all day and evening. We sleep out also. It is not very cold now. But when I first came up it would be as low as 28 below in the mor. It sure is a lovely place here but I don't want to stay any longer than I can help. I can't see any improvement as yet. In fact I have lost weight. Must close for now. Write when you can.
