My Dear Father,
Yours of Saturday last, and I am sorry to
see by it that there is no improvement in Livy. I think that it would be well
if you saw Mrs. Orr and made arrangements with her. I cannot get away ’till
Saturday and could be in Portadown on Monday & take her to the [?] place.
If I can get away sooner, I will but at any rate you could make the arrangement
this week. Could you not send Mother to Belfast for a week or so, out of the
way, this would at least relieve her of the constant worry of this affair,
which at her time of life she cannot bear.
You and Charlotte could manage even better
without Mother under the circumstances.
I will let you know the exact day I can
come farther on, it is very unfortunate that business I cannot put off keeps me
here for a day or two, or I would go across at once.
Love to Mother and Charlotte.
Your affect Son
