Hi S'nell. I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you? I would be curious to know what you are doing as I know you only take weekends and Andorian holidays off work.
My response to your latest journal article will be made in a message I'll send tomorrow.
Thinking of you too, Doctor McCoy.

Hi S'nell. Are you all right? Please talk to me darling. Sorry, I know you hate terms of endearment S'nell. But I haven't heard for you for almost two months now and I know it only takes a month for a message to reach the Enterprise right now. Please respond as soon as you can or I'm going to comm Nurse Dominique and grill her until I know what's going on. I know you can take care of yourself and that Earth is safe. But this prolonged silence from you is unusual and I want to know what's happening. I hope I haven't done anything to piss you off. But as far as I can tell I can't think of anything. I've talked to both Lieutenant Sulu and Lieutenant Commander Umal. Neither of them has received a message recently from you either which they both say is unusual.
In other words I'm not the only one who is concerned about you. I could go and talk to Lieutenant Commander Uhura or Spock but I'd rather not bother them if I have to as I know they are very busy. But I'll do that if I don't hear anything from you soon.
Worried about you, Doctor McCoy.
