Summary
Saying that he feels something is wrong but he shouldn't worry; saying his mother is "wonderfully well;" saying he is "not able for talk--because there are some things that I must not say about Rosie's late letters. There's no fear of anything quite dreadful--but I think she's changing--in some way, perhaps and most probably--getting ill."
