Dear Tom:
I have just received your letter of March 20 with the accompanying copy of your sister-in-law’s letter to me.
Of course, I share to the full your anxiety about your father, but I regret to say that I am not able to add anything to what your sister-in-law has written, for as you will note, her communication to you is only the copy of her letter to me from which I learned for the first time of your father’s serious illness. I did gather from the latter, however, that it was the feeling that the real crisis had been passed in your father’s condition, and that he war regaining his health end strength, though vary slowly. Indeed, the letter of which you have a copy, was written on February 17. In the same mail came another brief note from your sister-in- law dated February 20, three days later, in which she added, "Regarding my father-in-law’s health. He has pulled throws and is now out of danger. He is still so weak and takes a little soft diet, We all hope he will soon be recovered to his usual health".
In view of this last note, I think you can rightly cheer up a lot, for certainly it is much more encouraging than the first report, and I am sure that if things had grown worse you would have heard something direct from home.
Trusting that the next news you get may be even better than this last, and wishing you every success for the rest of your college year, believe me always
Sincerely yours
Mr. Thomas Sun
