My dear Yung:
Please excuse me for not answering your letter more promptly; but I have been away from Andover a great deal during the last two weeks, and my mail has suffered in consequence.
I can’t tell you how sorry I am for you and your brother, too, in this emergency which has arisen. I wrote to the superintendent of the McLean Hospital recently, asking him to give me a frank and full statement of his opinion regarding the case. He tells me that it will be a number of weeks before anything very definite can be determined, as the doctors must watch the boy and note his development and such changes as may take place from day to day. I know that he will have the best of care, and I have asked the superintendent to make as much of a personal matter out of the case as he can, as a favor to me. You cannot help worrying, of course, but I hope you will realise that everything possible is being done for the boy and that if a cure can be effected, it will be done.
With kindest regards and every good wish to you, believe me always
Most sincerely yours,
Mr. H. F. Yung
