That is quite a lot. It could be paying part of the mortgage, if he decides to stop paying his side. Is the house on your name, or both? Perhaps keep him on, but he will have to reimburse you the $240? Just until the D, if there is one.
It sounds like the two of you need to sit down and hash out a separation agreement where you can negotiate the things you and he want. If his health is costing you, then you should get something for it, for instance. You should also make sure you are not held responsible for any debt he may incur from now on. A lawyer will know about this, or perhaps there is information online in your state about what you should do where a SA is concerned.
As for the email; I think you should wait until you know whether a SA is going to be drawn up. It's a good negotiating point.
