To Mrs. Pamela Moffett, in Fredonia, N. Y.  
ELMIRA, July 12, '87  
MY DEAR SISTER,--I had no idea that Charley's case was so serious. I  
knew it was bad, and persistent, but I was not aware of the full size of  
the matter.  
I have just been writing to a friend in Hartford' who treated what  
I imagine was a similar case surgically last fall, and produced a  
permanent cure. If this is a like case, Charley must go to him.  
If relief fails there, he must take the required rest, whether the  
business can stand it or not.  
It is most pleasant to hear such prosperous accounts of Sam and Mary, I  
do not see how Sam could well be more advantageously fixed. He can grow  
up with that paper, and achieve a successful life.  
It is not all holiday here with Susie and Clara this time. They have to  
put in some little time every day on their studies. Jean thinks she is  
studying too, but I don't know what it is unless it is the horses;  
she spends the day under their heels in the stables--and that is but a  
continuation of her Hartford system of culture.
