My dear Sons and daughters.
after long waiting I hasten to answer your last letter and to assure you I am slowly but surely gaining health and Strength and by the grace of god. I will soon be out and around. but by spells I get tired and nervous, then I am downhearted and I feel as though, I could not live but a short time. I had an accident a few days ago. I looked at my watch, and it had Stopped and the main spring [????] to fix. if so I guess She will have to Stay Stopped oh, yes. Mrs J. Jefferson, the J. is for Jennie that is the address. why dont Bernie or the girls drop me a line? if they don't I will try never to bother or see them again on this earth. I am not always going to be penniless
I got some papers and a letter from Gertie before Thanksgiving. the letter was a great treat to me. and such letters yours and her's are the only relief I get to break the great big goo of lonliness [???] they dispatch the blues, as the sun dispels the fog. I am not strong enough to write more. so will close. my god keep all you children in his special care, is my prayer for you.
Ever yours, Paternally
Geo.F. Leonard
