To John Pearson, the house master of his son John (known as "Jack") at Wellington College. John had not been well through much of 1913 and Kipling is seeking advice after another trip to the doctor: "Just back from town after taking John to the doctor for the third time! He says that the boy can't go back to school yet as there is local poisoning consequent on a discharge from the nose after the operation, which is infective. We have not been able to get rid of this trouble and I hope to take him up again on Friday [...]".
