friend has so far recovered
as to be able return to his
home. If now we can raise
two hundred dollars for him
it will enable him to hold
the old house where his ancestors
for many generations have lived,
and set the old man on his legs
again, & warm & gladden his
heart. His bodily & mental
health [ seems?] now very nearly
restored, & he fully appreciates
every kindness. Tell Hackell
that he has done so well, already
I hope he will be able to raise
his figure to $100. I feel sure
he would be the very man for
the object. [ ? ]
