Dear Alex,
These past few weeks have been nightmarish as I have told you and naturally things have only gotten worse. Having been bed ridden the past few weeks unable to move I have begun to lose a ton of weight and I can see the muscles in my legs beginning to be eaten away by my own body. If I am ever able to leave this bed on my own I have no idea how I will be able to return to the fields to help my mother work. Father is doing the same as he was last time I wrote, but then again I have not really been able to check on him recently.
I am really worried what my next progression of my current illness will be. It is clear to me that this is not the end and I am extremely worried as to when I will be able to move again. I can see what the labor in the fields is doing to my mother's body and I know she cannot take much more of this manual labor. The landlord is asking for rent again and I know we do not have it. I'l have to sell some of our furniture to pay for this month.
Again cousin I really do ask that you find it in your heart to help me with my situation. I know we have not always gotten along but I ask that in this time of need you help us out and I will repay you double once I get back on my feet. So long for now.
Sincerely, Cousin Conor
