In full: “Rcvd. your letter and happy to hear the result of your exam. Sorry though about Dottie and Myrtle. I’m happy to report my finger has healed and I didn’t loose the nail. We’re off to the ranch again tomorrow and looking forward to it. We try to get there a few days each month. Weather here is unusually hot right now. Well lots of love and you are in our prayers too.” In fine condition, with a couple light smudges to a few words.
