22 Dec 1960 Jack oboy I -

    Yes, I hope we can get together before the iceman cometh, and you can meet the kids.  I read of Rich. Wright (he seemed Uncle Tomish in later years, not like Langston Hughes & Paul Robeson) - and Robt. Forsyth's sensa  [sic] humor will be missed.  I had a mild heart slow down - some kind of block - doctor said he didn't see how I got into Army (for 41 months no less!) - he says it should pass away if I "take it easy" - with two kids and a lousy job - they're still picking on me as a former "security risk" - I can't seem to wangle a promotion or a change of job - my lawyer says the Gov't is to blame for my heart condition, but underlined:  that doesn't pay any do-re-mi.  Haven't heard from Sevenson - I worry about him - he had heart trouble couple years ago and his flower-shop business was only going fair.  Enjoyed your clippings - will reciprocate.  Did I send you a card?  Ever hear from Enigma Ellington Curtis?  Dale Kramer?

Best to you all, Jack

written in left margin Wassailing doesn't seem to help or hinder my heart! It hurts my tummy tho!
