My dear Mr Wallace

In answer to your kind letter it will afford me pleasure at any time to do anything in my power to further your views and as I know, I believe every one of the Trustees of Mason's College intimately I can readily obtain the information you desire & I will do so at the earliest possible day but when I tell you the anxiety we are in about my Father you will excuse me if a few days elapse before I do anything. My Father has been very unwell for some weeks and after keeping his room a month came down for three days last week but on Saturday he was very unwell again but gave no cause for grave anxiety but on Monday the doctor said he did not think [3] it possible he could last 24 hours but on Tuesday morning he was no weaker and the same today so the doctor not gives us a little hope — I wish I could convey to him your kind expression of [2 words illeg.]

With kind regards | Believe me | Yours very truly | Henry Buckley [signature]1
