Dear Dr. McIver,
I saw quite an alarming piece in the paper today regarding the fever in your school. My niece, Mary Buchell, was not well when I heard misdirectly from her. Please write me how she is, or if she has returned home. I regret to learn of this fever, and its results, which will not only bring grief to many hearts, but to you. Please accept my sincerest sympathy, for I deeply regret that it should have happened.
