bly to pray for her, as she had "acute mania." Miss Mitchell 1 SI 

 who was here went right off thinking she might be able to 

 help, & as 7 thought it must be a mistake in the telegram, 

 she wrote at once saying it was really acute mania & not 

 pneumonia as I had hoped. They have to feed her some way 

 through the nose. . . . 



Then a few days before the Assem opened, your father got 

 a telegram addressed to the Senior Missy here, telling him of 

 Dr M's severe illness at Subathu. It was from the Civil Surgeon 

 there, saying that he needed care at once, his family being in 

 America. After talking together about it, Dr Fife said he 

 would go — so he went and brought Dr M down to this place. 

 It seems he was poisoned two years ago in performing an 

 operation on a man for a bad disease, & he took treatment for 

 a year, but was told he should take it for 2 yrs, however he 

 didn't, so now there seems to be danger of an abscess on the 

 brain. He sees double and his mind is not clear. . . . Doc- 

 tors must run awful risks when they perform these dirty 

 operations ! 



Please give us your real address. Will said you had taken a 

 house at St Thomas, Ky ... I am inclosing some clippings 

 to show you that India is still in unrest. The disloyalty of the 

 Arya Somajists is being found out and the young Rajah who 

 has just come into power is helping to bring to justice all 

 Anarchists &c. Mr Warburton, Chief of Police, is his right 

 hand man in detecting & punishing all offenders. Mr W used 

 to be here in your time, Will. Mr Jackson was killed because 

 he was an English official, and every now & again a bomb is 

 sent to, or thrown at some one, as in the case of the Deputy 

 Commissioner at Ambala. . . . The professions of some of 

 the Hindus, at being disgusted with acts of murder &c are 

 mere hollow shams to hide their own disloyalty, and the 

 palaver of the Mohammedans every one knows is, because 

 they hate the Hindus ivorse than the English. We do not see 

 trouble, therefore do not fear it, tho' the bomb at Ambala 

 comes pretty close to home. P S The Missionaries here each 

 entertained guests at Genl Assem time, & there were many 

 Indians provided for at a separate table & cheaper than the 

 European table. We had 5 very nice Indians at our table.
