7/15/36 "I rec'd my rdgs. [
601-13 and 601-14] for which
I thank you. There must have been a mix-up somewhere, as
I did not leave Detroit by motor with [
480] and [
633] as we
had originally planned [See
601-13, Par. 14-A advising
against it]. As soon as the telegram came about
discontinuing the tonic and postponing the auto trip, I
decided to leave by train a few days later, and waited for
the rdg. It never came, as I waited until the following Mon.
(7/6th) and have had my mail forwarded here since but no rdg.
"Probably due to the heat and change, I became very weak
last Fri. and Sat. and [
480] became so alarmed she wired for
the ck. rdg. The Silosan tablets helped me and was feeling
better Mon.
"After I rec'd the rdg. copies Mon. I also rec'd the medicine
which had been sent to Detroit and then forwarded here.
Thank you very much for ordering same, as it would have meant
delay to order same after I rec'd the rdgs... [She reported
on daughter's 480-26.]
"Thank the Lord for the cooler weather we are having since
yesterday afternoon."
7/19/36 She phoned for
601-15.
8/09/36 Daughter [
480]'s ltr.: "Never again will we go
against 'orders'. It was a question of having Mother alone
at home without [[
1093], maid] for 2 wks. This did not seem
the wisest thing to do, so we all urged Mum to come East by
train. She must have contracted a chill from the air
conditioned cars. I might add here that had Mother rec'd
the full rdg. before she left, she might not have gone East.
Through some error at the Beach the wire was sent and the
rdg. was mailed with a 3 cent stamp, not air mail or special
or some such thing; therefore she had already left Detroit
by the time the rdg. arrived. I think it would be wise to
continue as you have done in the past to follow up a wire
with fast mail...
"Mother is feeling a great deal better now."
