Dear Danl.
Your very kind letter of July 10 & 15 was recd. - but I delayed writing you expecting every day to hear from Mary. it is over a month since she left home – and at that time she expected her affair to come off in Sept. and I expected you all to be here at that time – we will surely hear of her soon.

Your letter to her we received last night, with the medicine – for which we are thankful – she says she will be pleased to come to Racine and see you all as soon as she feels able and one of us will come with her – She was unable to sleep last night and today has had one of those nervous prostrations which leaves her so weak and faint, and alarms me so much, [illegible] By a letter I had from your father this week the weather has been as hot where he is as here – but he is very well and very comfortable –
