. I think I wrote
you a few days since that
she had been taken with a
distressing turn of vomiting
wrenchening and coughing
These have gradually gave

however again gave way in
some measure and at this
time I think she appears
better. She has rested quite
well and says atmost for the
the only time that she feels

or less always felt from severe
and protracted illness
Yours Affectionately
G W Seward
