I am very sorry your Father and Mother are so unwell hope they will be better soon. - Do not feel anxious about us at home at all - we are all getting along nicely.

A few days just after you went away it was very hot weather & my anxiety about baby and household matters made me rather weary & restless a few days, - But have got a little used to it now & we all think manage better & better.

Much love and respect to your parents and your Brethren
