will both you and Mrs. Morse. I am sorry that the long expected visit must be postponed, but, of course, recognize the necessity. I fear it may have to be deferred until my return next Spring or Summer, still let us not yet reach this decision. If Junior's recovery should be earlier than now seems probable we may have our little visit before I go for the Winter. To be sure the visit is very largely a matter of pleasure and just now more serious things are before you; still, there is nothing like hope. I know that both Mrs. Morse and yourself are brave and that you need no words of encouragement, but I wish you both to feel that I sympathize most deeply with you and that I am wishing the disease may be speedily checked. 

Miss Nordlinger leaves Detroit on Monday next and sails for Hamburg on Thursday, the fourth, going on the Hamburg-American Steamer "Bluecher." The two months she came for have more than doubled themselves, and during all this time she rendered great service to my collection, as well as to have added to the pleasure of life in many ways. She will regret not seeing yourself and Mrs. Morse before leaving.

Always sincerely yours,
Charles L Freer
