Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

18 December 1933

(Around this time Dyuman suffered a nervous breakdown due to overwork. It took him about four months to recover. A number of letters in the following pages refer to this condition of nervous exhaustion.)

My child,

I would like you to go to bed now. I am sending you a hot tisane which is expected to make you perspire.

As I am not sure that you have something sufficiently warm to cover yourself in bed, I am sending you a cover.
