Dr. Morris,
I regret to write to you so hastily and impolitely but the situation with Sherman is getting dire. He has started to seemingly involuntarily shake violently and often has difficulty breathing during such episodes. His eyes are bulging out of their sockets and he has already become dangerously thin and dehydrated. If I poke his flesh with my finger, the indentation produced by said finger will remain. Lately I've heard bursts of laughter at night and upon checking Sherman in these moments, he has an inhuman look on his face like a sort of lunatic. I fear he may need to be institutionalized.
