Thank you so much for telegraphing me at once. Poor3
Mary4! She has been such a devoted and such a
happy wife. I telegraphed at once to her. Do get a
nurse to come down from Hastings5 to care for6
Bessie7 if it will help yu you at
all, Elsie. You know I am only too glad to pay for
all
the
assistance you can hire. It will make me feel a little less guilty about not being there myself. You
can get a nurse and send her to the hotel for all her meals except breakfast.
Wouldn't that be a good idea?
Thank you, my dear, for wiring me.
