Monday evening
My dear Sir,
I have to apologise for taken a very unwarrantable liberty with you, but you will make allowance for motherly mistakes in such a case as the present. Mrs. de Castros had taken great interest in Mrs. Hunts illness, and her enquiries led me to speak on the subject to the doctor, her husband, excusing myself to him for the freedom in the same way I do to you, on the anxiety of a mother, wishing for all the security she could get under the apprehension I have for Mary Anns present state of health; having then this freedom with you, I feel bound by every impression to communicate the

Monday evening My dear Sir, I have to apologise for taken a very un¬warrantable liberty with you, but you will make allowance for motherly mistakes in such a case as the present. Mrs. de Castros had taken great interest in Mrs. Hunts ill¬ness, and her enquiries led me to speak on the subject to the doctor, her husband, ex¬cusing myself to him for the freedom in the same way I do to you, on the anxiety of a mother, wishing for all the security she could get under the apprehension I have for Mary Anns present state of health; having then this freedom with you, I feel bound by every im¬pression to communicate the result /to you/, which is that Mary Ann is in that situation at pres¬ent that requires the utmost care, and that if she has not the precaution to use it, her disorder may soon be beyond remedy. Her complaint being inflammatory, the remedy necessary for it cannot be expected to have the desired effect while she uses so much bodily exercise, particularly nursing Swinburne. I have said all I can to Mary, but she puts me off for a day or two and then she shall see; but a day or two may increase her complaint so as to be past cure. I do not trouble you, Sir, on light grounds, Mr. Haynes calld upon me in the first of her illness and warned me of the danger and doctor de Castro has strengthened my fears. I know Mary does not tell you all her complaint, and if she were you may not have an idea of her danger. I therefore thought it my duty to /say/ speak of what I know on the subject to the only person who can lay commands upon her that may be useful. I remain, Sir, with every best wish, A. Hunter Mr. L.
