San Francisco Sunday June 10th 1855

My Dear Mother,

Your kind letter of the 2d May
I received the 31st the day before the last mail
left here for New York. -- I was pleased to hear
that you were all well at the time you
wrote, and I hope that Charles has by this
time completely regained his health, and that
you will all be well throughout the summer

I think C. ought to be careful however,
as it is now very near the same season of
the year as it was when he was sick with
a fever, one year ago, and I have
heard people say, that after a person has
had one fever, they are liable to have a
fever every year at just about the same
time, unless they are very careful, and
I think you will remember that such
was the case with Clarence Jewett, for he
had a severe fit of sickness (Fever) for two
years in succession, so I feel afraid that
if Charles should remain rather unwell
until next August or September, that
unless he was then very careful he might
have another fever, but I hope that you
will all escape sickness of all kinds ---
