Spring, but for two or three weeks
back I could not talk above a wisper
until now I am using some Troches
and am some better. no one who sees
me think I have consumption I breath
easy and natural as ever I did and I
have coughed more in the Last year
(I think) than any body ever did
You asked me if I thought my Doctor
was doing me any good. I have no Idea
that I would not be alive, but for

and a great many things I can not answer.
Mr Smith has come back he came
down the other day he came over to see me
he said Magg had the fever. I learned
from him, that Pa's health was right
bad he says That place on his temple
is growing very fast and that it had
got into his Eye. Enough to partialy
