In this dispatch dated July 5, 1906, a mother writes a deeply personal update to her son, Eric. She recounts how Olaf fell dangerously ill with a severe case of brain fever on June 21. The local doctor initially held out little hope for his survival during a grueling ten-day crisis. Having subsisted on just two crackers at his lowest point, Olaf is now slowly beginning his recovery. The letter captures the heavy emotional toll of illness and distance during a quiet frontier summer.
