Although ringworm in men occurs, it is not very serious. Recently, Jiang's doctor's prescription is used to treat it day and night. He said that the disease is not serious and can be cured slowly.Both men and women, Chinese men and grandchildren are in good health, and there is nothing to worry about.What the men look forward to is only the quick recovery of the grandfather's illness, and the quick recovery of the two masters, the quick recovery of the aunt's eyes, and the wide cup ears of the uncle, and I will report it separately.

①Not very: not very powerful. 【Translation】 At the knees of parents and adults: the ninth day of yesterday was engraved, and I read the instructions from the adults and the letters from the younger brothers, so as to know everything about the family.My grandfather has recovered a lot from his illness. It is really worth praying and wishing for him. I think he will recover step by step.The son's letter to Zhu's family last time said that there was never a day when he didn't want to go home, which is inevitable for people who have been an official outside for a long time, so he also mentioned it in the previous letter.Now that the adults have orders, the son will be an official wholeheartedly, not daring to disobey benevolent orders, so he will not have such thoughts.On the sixth day of yesterday, the president Fang Cha was sent, and there was only Huang Shujie from the same village.The son is not going to work this year, so the family's luck will not be too leaked, the grandfather's illness will be cured quickly, and the younger brothers may also enter school this year. This is the natural reason for Yingxu.

Although my son's ringworm has developed, it is not too severe. Recently, he has been treated with Dr. Jiang's medicine sooner or later.He said that the disease is not serious and can be cured gradually.He doesn't need money even after the disease is cured, and the two adults don't need to hold on to it.Daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters are all in good health, so don't worry about them.What the son and the others hoped for was for the grandfather to recover from his illness. The two adults usually worked hard, and the aunt's eye disease recovered quickly, which made the uncle relieved.The rest let the son report later. (Daoguang twenty-seventh day of February)
