Dear Ones All –

            Once more I’ll try to compose my flying thots long enough to say hello and let you know we are still on “the gain.”  You will know I am well on the road to recovery when I say most of the real pain seems to be over but the itching and burning of recovery make it hard to concentrate on writing.  The hand has not been dressed for the last three days and seems to be drying up fine. Of course it is stiff with dry skin and secretions but the flesh wasn’t burned much so it will be as good as ever too.  Expect to be out of here in about 2 weeks more.  At least by the time you receive this.  And soon after we may be on the preliminary moves for home.  Have had mail from you twice while we were here.  Have been out walking in the sun again today.  Having nice weather for the most part now.  I feel guilty to send such measly letters but what can I write about.

                                                                        Love to all –

                                                                                    Corp Geo Sherwood
