<poem>I'm suffering from fever, | |||
I've been tortured by seizures. | |||
I fear it might be typhus, | |||
And so I ask you, Fifi, | |||
To treat me in absentia. | |||
And to make me feel better. | |||
Read the signs of the disease: | |||
Firstly, pain in the stomach, | |||
Then a decent chill, and oh! | |||
An awful pain in my head; | |||
A little hot the whole time | |||
And swelling in both kidneys. | |||
I'm waiting for your answer. | |||
So that this illness leaves me. | |||
Should I take castor oil, salts, | |||
Or colophony powder? | |||
And with that I kiss your hand, | |||
Please, give a kiss to [[Sasha]], | |||
Give Fuflyga my regards, | |||
And oh, don't forget Petya.</poem>}} | |||
