Description

 * Reid Mansion, 4th April 1908
 * My Dearest Child,
 * This is my last letter for you: I choose to hide it in the Pembroke Hospital. Do you
 * remember how disappointed you were when your application was rejected? I had never
 * seen you so upset. For days, you did not say a word. This was the first time I realized the
 * darkness you had in you, my son. A black stone imbedded in your heart, hidden to all,
 * which I sometimes saw in your sister too. I feared for you both, for I perfectly knew what
 * it meant to feel this gloomy mood. The dark side of the Reid; The reason why I must go,
 * now that I know I'm condemned.
 * I'm sick, my son. The diagnosis is irrevocable and death will soon come. I refuse to be
 * seen like this by those I love. This is my fault and my decision. You're so far away now,
 * learning with this doctor Carrel in Paris how to transfuse blood to save patients. Already
 * thinking about how to improve the method you've help to create. I'm so proud of you,
 * my son, but you can't save me. I won't be Aubrey Reid, the dying banker surrounded by
 * his friends and family, unable to leave his bed. I won't stand it. I don't accept it so I left.
 * Just like you left us to become the great surgeon you are destined to be. The great
 * surgeon I never want to see next to me, looking at me knowing I will die soon. Keep on
 * studying, My son. Become whoever you're destined to be, and do it for yourself, not for
 * your old father who loves you.
 * I have taken all the necessary measures to protect you, my family, of any dangers to
 * come. I want you all to remember me as I was, not as I'm about to be. I leave, for I love
 * you, my pearls and jewels. I do it because I have this dark mood in me I hid from
 * everyone as long as I could. In a few days, I'll go where I stood when you left us for
 * France. There, I'll leave a last gift for you. There. I'll vanish, never to come back.
 * Farewell, Jonathan. I wish you to be as happy as I've been with you all these years. Kiss
 * my Mary and my Emelyne for me. Take care of them. Farewell, my dear boy.
 * Believe me ever, my dearest John. Your devoted father.
 * Aubrey Reid
