User-Contributed Transcription I am in no more certainty than ever as to what is to become of me. I am just getting well from a last attack now. I was real well all last month + hope to be this coming one. That is some gain. I do not seem to change much if any [[in?]][[size?]] which is very strange as late as it is.
Occassionaly I feel something but not enough to build upon. I am fat anyway + as I have long ago laid aside my corset that may account for my looking somewhat pussy or rather big hipped.
It is a queer business + a constant worry to us both.
I wish it would speak out one way or the other.
We are having a rainy day thought we have had only sunshine for the past two weeks.
F-- has gone off to school. He did not want to stay at home even if it did rain. He reads very nicely + likes it He has been reading mornings at prayers for some time.
