has written to me that Katharine was very ill - Is it true that it is some serious disease of the kidneys?  I do hope and trust not, as that is one of the diseases I most dread, - one where the danger is so great.  I am the more surprised as her father wrote that Katharine was with them, but said not a word of her health - Family ties are not easily broken, and though Katharine has no use for me, it has made me very sad to think she may be seriously ill - she has always been delicate and would have less resistance to disease; it is well that her husband is a Doctor and knows how to take care of her.  With lots of love to Rob and you and very best wishes for your health and also hopes of hearing from you soon.
ever your affectionate Aunt
