Dear Cyndy,

Thank you for your letter.

It turns out that my sister is quite ill in Konnarock,
probably vomiting blood, now for the fifth day. She
csancelled her airline reservation to fly to Boston today
because she was too sick to get ready, tells me on the
phone that she will come tomorrow, but that promise
is so unlikely to be fulfilled that Margaret and I should
get packed and be on our way as soon as possible.

I'll write to you again from Konnarock, if we get there,
or from Belmont if we don't.

Stay well and give my best to Ned.

Jochen
