Dear folk at Home,

Frank has been very sick, and is still badly off - though better than yesterday - Has Inflammation of Spleen - extending onto the peritoneum and making a pretty hard case -

I have been with him nearly all the time and shall till he is much better which I hope he will be soon - At th He is in the P. F. Office. Mariner, Charlie [Illegible] [illegible] Chandler & I have taken care of him manage by taking turns to keep going pretty well - I of course have to leave college as I stay with him all day as well as my watch at night.

Since writing the [illegible] I have seen the aforsaid young man - (Mr Ray) He is a graduate of some Literary institution in Ohio - has taught "Classics" & "Higher English branches" he says - He is probably a good scholar but he is young (21) and inclined to be a little conceited or so perhaps. He has talked of becoming a minister etc - etc - He comes well reccommended but on the whole I am not inclined to like him for a teacher - He let me know if he anyone coms in father will come in on Saturday - if not Mr Ray will go out Saturday morning in cars or stage

Father had better talk him over carefully and not accept him if he is not suitable. I told him twould be doubtful - while he too says he is by no means sure hell take the place If you write to me on Friday Ill probably get the letter the same evening and Mr Ray is to [illegible] meet me and If if I dont hear at all Ill He will go out Saturday - But Dont take him unless you like him - I will continue to look further

In Haste - Bob
