other than that I am fine, 6'2" and a 195 lbs, also going bald [guess: quite] fast. So I don't have that young look any more, losing my hair in the same places Grandpa Charlie did. That doesn't bother me cause I loved Grandpa all my life. I always felt real close to him and Grandma. Grand me [guess: doesnt] look a day older on the picture. Please say hello to her and [REDACTED] when you see or write to them. Tell Grandma I'm sorry I know I've hurt her too. Also [REDACTED] because she was always good to me. I will write to them if they wish. I don't have their addresses.

I don't know what else to write. I hope this letter explains a few things to you. I thought it would be along time before we were in contact again. I wanted everything in much better shape before I wrote or came to see you. In a few months things may be that way. If everything goes alright I will be sending [guess: Irene] lots of money. Maybe I can make up for some of her hardships.

You take good care of yourself and take it easy. Maybe life will improve for you. If I can help in any way I will. I guess the past is past so now we must look to the future. Don't give up as I am finally getting something. My bed is still uncomfortable, but improving. Its been along time, but time cures all.

Love, Matt

I thought you would want these picture back.
