User-Contributed Transcription typed Arthur Church Nov. 21, 1952
Dear Brother Conroy & assorted sisters -

Received your kind messages & am passing out the Word of God to the nurses who seem to

take the messages to heart - possibly because I'm the only eligible bachelor on the floor - figuratively
speaking of course since I haven't left my bed of nonetoogreat pain since I arrived - prospect is
for more of same, a year of special diet - no liquor - and, as the doctor delicately phrases it, no
similar indiscretions for an extended period - I take this to include the 7 sins that cry out to heaven for vengence [sic],
the 7 deadly sins, not to mention bestiality, thumb-sucking, and goosing nuns.

Tests are not yet in completely and I have no idea how long I shall be absent from the salt mines. I will have mother

tell Mr Fiske all as soon as we know. If I don't get back very soon, there are notes which may make some slight sense -
I doubt it - in the file and a couple of drafts for articles in the Center
