Dream of the future!! a car without a clutch so I can drive again.

P.S. I'll never forget the words of a San Francisco doctor when I came out of "isolation" -- "You can crawl into your shell, turn the door to the wall, no one will miss you -- or --You can put your root into life's stream and go with it". So I decided to try my darnest!

I'm glad you let Sally Russell come to Louisville -- we really LOVE her.

Hello, Dear Editors, Greer Baker received a copy of the Toomeyville JR Gazette and would like to have her name added to the subscription list. She has a friend in a nearby town who I think might like to receive a copy, if she hasn't already, her name is Miss Sharon Leo McCammon, Martinsville, Ill. Both those girls are 17 years old and having home teachers from their High Schools and are hoping to complete their Senior year this Spring. These girls are both learning to type with what they have, so perhaps will write as soon as they get going a little better.

I've just finished reading the August issue of "JR." It was my first meeting with the publication and I must compliment anyone who helped to make it such a neat, compact, interesting little magazine.

I have only one thing to suggest. How about a Children's Corner? I'm sure the younger R.P.'s would enjoy a few articles or maybe jokes or poems written especially for their age bracket.

By this time I guess you're wondering who I am, what with all my suggestions. Well, I'm a "piker", that's who I am. Oh yes, I'm a Polio, but I had no respiratory troubles, so, after reading about y'all and all your problems, I feel that polio just barely touched me. Even tho' I must always wear a long leg brace and from a wheel chair take care of my house and five children, (two of them born since polio), I say again I'm a piker compared to you.

Mrs. Roosevelt is abroad and in her absence I would like to thank you for your letter and the enclosed booklet. I know it will interest Mrs. Roosevelt to see what you are doing to help polio patients here and throughout the world.

With Mrs. Roosevelt's appreciation and good wishes.

Thanks very much for sending me the copy of the Toomeyville Jr. Gazette. I am forwarding the material around the office so that our staff will be informed on its availability for chronic respiratory polios.

I've read the copy of your magazine which was mailed to me. The story about yourself which was reprinted from "The Cleveland Press" was most interesting. I would like your permission to reprint it in the Paraplegia News.

Thank you very much for your letter concerning the names of patients who are interested in receiving the Toomeyville Gazette. I would like to submit the following names which have come to my attention up to the present time:

I was very interested in reading your publication. I think it is a fine job of arrangement of material and contents.

CANADA I enjoyed reading the Gazette and would like to be on your permanent mailing list. Since I am not a Polio patient I would be pleased to cover the cost of my subscription if you will let me know your annual rate.

As requested, I am sending a list of 70 respiratory Polios in this area. You will note that these are not patients in this Institution but at the Polio Centre here and therefore some of the names may be duplicated on other lists from this area.
