Still, if there is danger, I should desire to see him, come what might, before he died, if even I had to die together with him.

I have good hope, however, that he will get well, and so I do not come.

And if he should have a relapse--from which may God preserve him and us--see that he lacks nothing for his spiritual welfare and the sacraments of the Church, and find out from him if he wishes us to do anything for his soul.

Also, for the necessaries of the body, take care that he lacks nothing; for I have laboured only and solely for him, to help him in his needs before he dies.

So bid your wife look with loving-kindness to his household affairs.
