I have just heard
this morning that you
were ill when your
Father

it would be possible
for me to go to you
when Fredericks

was yesterday his fever
still continues
and every day shows
more clear indications
that it has assumed
a typhoid character –
I believe all the physicians

They say his fever has
not yet passed the crisis
and until that time
he cannot be out
of danger – Horatio

Our folks came about

she has not yet taken
her breakfast 10 oclock –
It is the day before election
of course your father
is beset by politicians
to make a speech
I hope he will not.
Love to Fred & Anna
God bless you all
