Excerpt from Letters of Travel From Caspar Morris, M. D. 1871-1872, Vol. 2: To His Family My Dear Son: I enclose the sheets of my journalizing letter written day by day, hoping it might possibly repay my children for the labour of deciphering its shamefully illegible characters, and with the hope that you may extract from it some equivalent for the toil (made such an equivalent by your love) now while your mother and I are separated from you. I cannot think anyone, unless it may be myself, will ever take the necessary trouble, if I keep it till our return. I write under some difficulty, in my own room, which does not admit of a table, though amply large for comfort; often while still lying in bed, so soon as the light is strong enough to enable me to sec the lines on the paper. Then both my pens "have come to grief" through my carelessly leaving them lying on the writing desk, which the servants close when I am out of the way. Your note on Mrs. Cope´s letter was most grateful. I am sorry you are so oppressed with professional duty, but would only pray that you may have the strength given you to endure, and wisdom to acquire and apply properly the knowledge of disease and remedy, and thus serve God in your generation in the most godly of all callings, except that for which He only can qualify man - the ministry of the gospel of His son. I am sorry to be obliged to say that your mother is laid by with the pleuro pneumonia. I hope it may prove slight and yield to treatment. Her cough has annoyed me for a month or more, and to my great disappointment the Egyptian winter, though not inclement, is not adapted to invalids. The nights are cold and the winds high; and neuralgia and rheumatic pains are common. I have cupped your mother and to-night will apply a blister if she is not more relieved. Her pulse is soft and does not rise over 80 per minute, but her headaches and her eyes feel badly. There is slight subcrepitant rale at the old spot. The cups covered the old marks of scarification. I gave her paregoric and nitre last night, and have prepared morphia for to-night. It is now too dark to see without light and I shall leave the rest of this sheet for tomorrow´s report. The sun has just set, but there is no transition stage of twilight. Your mother was quieter last night from the influence of the morphia, but at 5 I found the vesicating fluid had not yet produced any effect and renewed the application. She is still drowsy, but has the constant desire to inflate the lung always attended by pain. The family will soon get away for the Tombs of the Kings, which will keep them all day, and I shall keep her perfectly still.
