Have I ever met Cousin Lowell?

It doesn't matter. He has T.B.

it would be very nice to hear from you.

- He has tuberculosis?

-It's around now.

- Do people still get that?

- Oh, yes. Absolutely.

I thought they stopped getting that,

like, in cowboy times?

Didn't you hear that story... No.

Didn't you hear that story

about the guy on the plane?

- He had tuberculosis?
