I have never before been sick enough to interfere with my work so make a poor patient.  

Mr Tukey  has also been sick and is now, though he is recovering, and with care will be at work next week.  Another Assist came back sick after a weeks absence so you see that this is not altogether the "healthy region" I imagined it.  However we want to do the best we can, trusting a kind Providence for the results.

Yours feebly,
