Dear Miss Sully,
Perhaps this will sound a little peculiar, but just this morning I found myself thinking that I rather miss the company and conversation of Dr O'Hara. I'm aware that he is still technically here, but I'm certain that you understand my meaning.
If I can keenly feel his absence, then I can scarcely imagine what pains you are experiencing at this moment in time. If there is anything I can do to be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask.
I have enclosed a postcard from the zoo. The image is that of a kangaroo. I had purchased it to send to Dr O'Hara before I was aware of his current condition. As it is, a postcard from a strange man may be rather inappropriate and odd. Please will you pass it on to him, if you think it might amuse him.
