Dear Sir
I am quite sorry to communicate to you the serious sickness of one of the Family, so I shall be unable to sail tomorrow as I had anticipated and as I had written you. I shall start in a few days or at least as soon as some more developments take place in the nature of the attack. Please do not fill the Clerkship as I may sail in a day or so.
