Mentions that William Levison's daughter Ellen has scarlet fever. Transcription: [6. Tuesday through 7. Wednesday] Office; and evenings in-doors writing. Sent another letter to Alf [Waud] with $2 for wood in it. [William] Levison ?s child [Ellen Levison] is sick of the scarlet fever. He ?s very anxious about it.
