My dear Mr . Deane : 



It is very good of Doctor Bailey to turn over my last letter to 

 you. I have been intending ever since I got back from the hospital 

 three weeks ago to write you, but have neglected it from time to time. 



Mrs. Rose would have written, but she has had her hands more than 

 full. ISarly in the week she was obliged to go to the occulist's her- 

 self to have her eyes treated. George has been out of office several 

 days with a bad case of sinus trouble and was obliged to go to the 

 doctor's twice a day. He is better now and goes only once a day, aid 

 is back at office. Rebecca has had serious trouble with her antrum 

 and has been away from the office several days. Yesterday they took 

 her to the hospital to be operated upon, and she is now in the 

 Episcopal Eye, Sar and Throat Hospital under t he care of two doctors. 

 My mother, who has been with us all winter, was taken dangerously ill 

 last Tuesday and has been confined to her room, under the care of two 

 nurses ever since, with a temperature up to 103 a good part of the time. 

 She still is very sick and is not yet out of danger. 



You see ?re have had plenty of things to keep us busy at home. I 

 am. some better myself and am at the office each day, but am taking things 

 rather easy. 



I hope you are feeling better yourself. 



Yours very truly, 



J. N. Rose
