Brooklyn, N.Y.
My dear Levermore:
I am sorry to say that Mrs. Woodruff is very ill and I do not think it will be possible for me to attend the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. I returned to the City on Saturday night, after a trip to Syracuse, and found her much worse and yesterday her condition was alarming. I hope you will have me excused from the meeting, if you do not hear further from me. I hope to be with you later on and to see you at an early date.
Yours very sincerely,
