1/24/42 Grandmother [
2415]'s letter: "I have hoped every day
since I sent the wire to get a letter off to you explaining.
On January 1st [
2663] developed an abscessed ear and ran
a temperature of from 104 to 106 for a week. Ear drained
nicely, then suddenly closed and of course high temperature
again. She was tender from head to foot and the doctor said
he would have to have her in the hospital for observation.
We supposed a few days but this went on and on - with all
kinds of tests made. Finally pus formed in her elbow and it
began swelling, then in about three days they drained that.
From that time on she just lies in a half stupor but runs a
high temperature the greater part of the time. We are all
so anxious over her and [...] [husband-grandfather, [
4825]]
insisted on wiring you.
"I hope you are able to find the cause and treatment. We
will be so anxious to hear. I did not give you her age but
did not think it was necessary for a rush reading. She was
five years old October 20th and has always been a problem
child. We are hoping some things will be corrected."
2/26/42 Letter from grandmother, [
2415]: "She is home now,
very weak and thin. We felt there would be a definite step
to find her trouble, but now I see it was best to keep her
under the conditions at the hospital, so all the tests could
be made. I do hope now we will be able to hear more as
to her getting strong. They are keeping her at home now
constantly, and any time you can give her a Rdg., she will
be there without an appointment."
3/10/42 See
2663-2.
7/20/72 See mother's letter under
2663-2 saying the doctor's
diagnosis of [
2663] at 5 years was "blood stream infection,
hypoglycemia and brain damage."
