私の心は此多量の紙と印氣が、私に何事を語るのだらうかと思つて驚ろいた。私は同時に病室の事が氣にかゝつた。私が此かきものを讀み始めて、讀み終らない前に、父は屹度何うかなる、少なくとも、私は兄からか母からか、それでなければ伯父からか、呼ばれるに極つてゐるといふ豫覺があつた。私は落ち付いて先生の書いたものを讀む氣になれなかつた。私はそわ／＼しながらたゞ最初の一頁を讀んだ。其頁は下のやうに綴られてゐた。

My heart was astonished, wondering what this large amount of paper and stamps would tell me. At the same time, I was concerned about the hospital room. When I started reading this book, and before I had finished reading it, my father would often ask me something, at least I had the illusion that I was being called out by my brother, my mother, or my uncle. rice field. I couldn't bring myself to settle down and read what the teacher had written. I read the first page nervously. The page was spelled as follows.
