’s account your letter came to confirm all
my fears. I knew he was a very sick child the day you left
but as I had no manner of confidence in the physicians
here I was in sane measure reconciled to you going
home where you could have a homeopathic doctor. I am
glad you have again adopted their treatment. I have faith
in no others. I take much reproach to myself that I have
so much urged you to consult Dr. Maine
Unknown
– he certainly
possesses no medical skill and I much fear no principle
or he would not attempt to use medicines with such an
entire ignorance of their qualities, however I will take
your advice and not make it a subject of discourse
among my foolish neighbors. I have been all day
very miserable on your account. My first impulse
this morning was to take the first cars to Auburn then
I remembered to size of your family and my inability
to assist you materially in the care of dear Willie who
prefers sitting upon his mothers lap to any one else
I am afraid you will yourself be sick, such constant
care and anxiety. I am sure Will wears you out You
say nothing of the pain in your side. Do write me a
few words when you recieve this. I shall not rest until
I hear that the little boy continues to improve. If you can
Not write let one of the boys

If he is no better I shall come and immediately
I can write nothing else from I think of nothing else.
I Willie has not been out of my mind a moment
since you left. Love to all
Your own sister
