He feels guilty having delayed his reply so long and yet not been able to do so himself in person. Ever since the last operation on his carbuncle which was a very serious one, the size of it was about seven or eight inches in diameter. He has never been able to regain his usual spirit, energy and strength. He therefore feels awfully weak and can not do any work, consequently our doctor orders him not to work at all if possible, so we are keeping back piles and piles of correspondences from him. On top of the above said condition of his health, it was most unfortunate to state that on the 12th evening he had a sudden attack of a very high fever, which rendered him unconscious and delirious for about 24 hours. He is now lying in bed a thoroughly sick man, but happily his mind is gradually getting clearer. We do not know how long he will be recovered to his usual health. He has now authourized [sic] me to answer his correspondence, I therefore take the liberty to do so. May I through this letter acknowledge receipt of a letter written by your secretary with Charlie, Tommy and Mary’s accounts for which my Father-in-law wishes to express his thanks. I beg to inform you that my Father-in-law has ordered a telegraphic remittance of G$4,000,00 for account of Mary, Tommy, and Charlie through the London office of the National City Bank of New York, which I hope it has reached you by now. With very best wishes Yours very sincerely Dr. Alfred E.

Naturally I am dreadfully distressed to learn of your father-in-law's serious illness, though your second note with its reassurances brought much relief. I passed the good word along at once to the children who had heard of their father's illness, and were greatly disturbed. I assured them further that I felt confident that if there had been any further developments in the case that were unsatisfactory, they would have received some later word from home, and that no news could therefore be fairly regarded as good news. I hope that this judgment was correct. I had already acknowledged the receipt of the telegraphic remittance of four thousand dollars for the accounts of the three children. Doubtless my letter will have been received by this time. All three of the children seem to be in good health and the boys are doing steady and high grade work. Mary seems to find continued difficulty in her studies, though I am very much hoping that a better report will come in before the end of the year when she will have had a chance to become thoroughly familiar with the new work and the character of the demands it makes upon her. Please give my warmest and friendliest greetings and good wishes to your father-in-law. I shall look forward eagerly to some further and I earnestly hope more encouraging word of his improvement and ultimate restoration to full health and vigor. Very sincerely yours, Dr. Alfred E. Stearns Elsie Sun
