By Irene Pfleger Wachdorf

undated and without envelope, guessing 1965 due to Larry's reference in an earlier 1965 letter to his father's emphysema, and guessing late October by reference to birthday of granddaughter, whose name has been removed and replaced with relationship (in italics to show where it's been done).

Dad = Edward John Wachdorf Sr.

Dear Ones:

    Dad has been pretty sick--had to sit up several nights in a chair so he could breathe. Wouldn't have the Dr. until Wed this week and has had him every day since. Is taking 3 kinds of pills and tablets and is commencing to feel a little better although his breathing is still bad. Has been able to sleep all night in bed these last few nights which is good and finally had enough strength to wash his face and shave, ate a little better today too which made me feel good. Has been sitting in his rocker in the living room ever since we got back in his pajamas--doesn't feel good enough yet to get really dressed up in his clothes. Will let you know how he improves. Think he is really on the mend now.

Love + God Bless you all

Mom + Dad

Sorry I'm late with your youngest daughter's card, but that's the way I been all year--getting old + forgetful
