"I had a strong attack a few weeks after the surgery and was taken to the hospital by ambulance and they did tests and x-rays ... the attack lasted nine hours and weakened me until today, therefore it is very hard for me to exert myself, particularly in writing letters ... the children are learning in "cheder" and the little girls, at home with Leah ..."
