New York, March 15 1859

Dear Doctor —

I am afraid, from what you
say in your last letter, that your
good wife is very poorly indeed.
This makes us all the more anxious
that she should come on as soon as
possible. Would it not be less fatiguing
for her to come by the way of Stonington?
I would for for her, at a day's notice, &
take the greatest care of her. It is evi-
dent that she needs a change of scene
& occupation. The girls are very anxious
to have her come at once & they are
excellent doctresses & petters. She knows
our ways & can do just as she plea=
=ses. I shall feel uneasy till we
have her safe in our house. So let me
know the earliest day that she can be
ready to come.
