Dear Ollie:

I know you will be pleased with this letter for it’s going to be a long one.  Am feeling better but none to good yet.  Don’t know when I will go up the line.  Have not heard a word from Squire or home since I left the line.  I tell you it’s Hell laying around.  It gives me too much time to think.  Nearly went batty up until yesterday, but thank the Lord go to work yesterday and today so time passed quicker.  Have no wind it knocks me out to walk any distance.  For Heaven’s sake don’t tell Mother for she will worry and have worked many times when I have felt worse.  Well they have started a meeting here so reckon will have to quit.  Good excuse for me.  Ha.  Hoping this finds you in a more cheerful mood than I am.

Love to all

Jack
