San Antonio, Texas, March 11th, 1822
Dear Mr. Ayros:-
Intended to write you yesterday evening hut did not have
an opportunity. Mr. Colp went home ’Wednesday night with pretty
Colp
high fever. Mrs. Colp:; phoned rue Thursday and said Mr/ had not been able to get any rest at all Wednesday night and had quite a bit of fever. He was still sick yesterday. The doctor said he had the "flu", and very consolingly told Mr. Colp he could sit up a while Sunday. Mr. Colp has been threatened with'Tlu" for quite a while but kept on going. I can sympathize with him because 1 had it. Only I had pneumonia with it. When I had it the doctor told me it was just bronchitis. Ke knew if he told me I had the "flu" I would be "sheered" to death.
(if an English teacher could only see that paragraph] have said "I had" about *steen" times)
Hope you received the list of names east. As you are on the ground there /wonder if you would correct any mistakes in the spelling of the names,or wrong initials, or anything like that, and save the list? Qf course, provided you have an opportunity to uo sc and it isn't too much trouble o£ takes too much time. Whatever sun I going to dc with these files? They are so full I have to take half of the folders out of the files before I can file anything else or get anything out of the folders.
Must stop as I have about half a notebook full of dictation, Mrs. Colp phoned me yesterday afternoon and said Mr. Colp wanted
me to go cut there and take a few letters, which I did. Don't
believe dictating did Mr. Colp any good as Mrs. Colp just now phoned and said ne is feeling worse this morning.
