Sleep well, my lovy dear.
Yes darling, wash your whole body with a spunge + warm water + vinegar, + to-morrow morning all over with eau de cologne. Put a hot water bottle into your bed + make yourself perspire. Don't throw off your things when very hot — then perhaps you may be well by the evening.
+ and kisses fr. yr. old Mama
