Remsen, Feb 25, 1885

My dear Nephew - We are troubled not to have received any word from you since the great storm now more than a week. I sent you a P.O. order for $30 a week today and the next day the package of handkerchiefs - We hope you are not sick - and that you received these things safely - Write please immediately on on getting thiss if you have not already done so. Your cousin Maggie is quite sick they fear with typhoid fever. Her mother went to see her last Thursday and they ?? expected her home last night. I went on my snow shoes after supper to see if they had heard anything more but they had not - Jane went directly to Turin on the 7 p.m. train and William took her to Pierce's the next morning - P. had just got back from Maggie's and he took Jane the rest of the way - William

Wednesday morn - As I failed to send this a.m. I will add a little - George brought a card from Turin written this a.m. The Drs. do not think Maggie dangerously ill - She has not the fever but ?? of the liver a type of typhoid - Be sure to write without delay as we are uneasy.
