Dearest
Had a good bunch of mail today I got twenty, first for a long time. They were dated from Jan. to June 16. the last took about 3 weeks to get here. They may come more even now I had bad luck again, they took all the men over 38 out of the company. I am the only one left over 38 it is not fair at all I feel like an old man among the young men I have bad knees, the lower end of my spine achs all the time cant sleep well at all, my left leg has sciatic pain most of the time, and there is nothing they will do about it they probly think I am telling a lot of falsehood but I am not and dont intend to. I believe in being honest. Sure was good to hear from home got a good idea how things are at home from the scattered letter. Went swimming in the Med. sea today
Love Lloyd
