My good friend,
Good morning to you all. I received your note, but sorry my sickness is still going on as it was yesterday.
I was sorry for I failed coming to drink with you, due to the sickness.
I was grateful for the bottle of whiskey and the medicine which you sent to me. I used the medicine yesterday evening and today morning, but no improvement yet. The thing which is giving me trouble is cough, if you can get some medicine for it, kindly send it to me through bearer.
I think that whiskey will also help, but I do not know yet. Please send me some gin if any.
I am lying on bed.
Yours good friend,
Fon of Bafut
