Dear Mrs Guppie,
When you come out you better come out prepared to go down to Toronto for a little treatment. I received the report back today and the section shows that thing on your hand to be a skin cancer. You will have to go down for treatment. Come in to the office on your way however till I give you a letter.
Kindest regards
