Dear Mum,
...I am out of the illness i had over Xmas but not sure if i'm not heading back the same way. The doctor has talked about getting a specialist in, which sounds a bit awesome.
The Connolley family came to see me yesterday - John Connolley is especially encouraging as far as my music is concerned, and i have written a new tune dedicated to him.

Your last drawing you did for me is sitting on my windowsill. Thank you.

Always in my thoughts,
John.
