so that now he is in about his normal condition in that respect but he has become so weak that he is not able to be out of
bed, last night had several sinking spells finally fainted today he is in quite a fever we all feel very anxious about him
though the Dr. gives us encourage- ment does not consider his present condition at all alarming Drugs seem to be of no avail
the course taken with him is a system of baths local applications of different kinds It seems he did not get home a day
too soon, for ever since, he has been in such condition that it would have been very hard on him to travel In another way
we were too soon We sent, in one day, from summer temperatures weather ( illegible 859) to mid-winter. Our climate at this
writing is a most unenviable one loose? letterhead 3 journey when he is able I am sure it will be a source of pleasure
