do her a great deal of good to move out here also My own brother Duncan who is a doctor in Iowa was shur that it would do
her good. we have been here about six weeks but instead of do her good she is not so well still there may be reasons for her
not feeling so well she was a littler against moving out here on account of her friends leaving them and going so far away
from them she feel a little homesick or lonesome wishing that her friends would write to her. her mind is very weak and feel
very nervous so that she dont know sometimes what she is really doing. and this in margin: 00964 3 is mostly the reason
why I am writing at present time to you is. to write to her as often as you can without expecting her to answer every time
you write it will do her a great deal of good. there is nothing that hurt her so much as writing it affects her mind so and
makes her so nervous deleted: so that she cant sleep for some time afterwards. Please write her as often as you can, since
