Sloughton January 13th 1935

Dear Folks
After a week of having rain + gloom we once more see sun + pleasant weather a welcomed change. I believe they say it causes pneumonia. hospitals in Brockton are full of it. it is freezing weather though today. so that seems more reasonable we think. I hope you had a nice birth day it was a very warm sunny day here. and it was also Wes Osbornes birth day. I am feeling better not so much gas since I finished the bed quilt. I could not get to sleep but for the life of me I cant tell why. I was in a half sleep thinking now if I could just stop breathing I could very easily pass on without any trouble to any body. but I couldnt stop + it bothered me. Well I have such nights + the next night I sleep. That Lindbergh case is going to drag all through the month if it dont stir up Germany and cause trouble no matter. I have a great respect for Dr Gordon (before) if they had let him have had the handling of Bruno Hafman, he would worked on his spiritual side and he would have confessed the whole thing before now. he even gave a thousand dollars of the ransome money to help Lindburgh. he has been a father to him I am afraid something will happen to him before it is over. he is smart and fears nothing. I hope God will spare him in his good work.
