Autograph letter signed ('Th Dostoevskii') to Nikolai Petrovich [Vagner], [St. Petersburg], 7 January [18]76 , explaining that he had not replied to an earlier letter because he was awaiting the fate of his sick son, remarking on the boy's recovery and the reaction of their daughter, and expressing his gratitude for the sympathy of their friends, 1½ pages, 8vo (split in centre fold). This letter is in reply to Vagner's of 5 January concerning Dostoevskii's son Fedor ('Fedia'), who was severely ill suffering from scarlet fever, although the author had referred to the disease as typhus in a letter of 2 January. Dostoevskii expresses warmly his faith that the fever has broken and that the boy will live. N.P.
