I have been improving for the last two days, & think I shall be up & around soon, as well as ever—I have had the services of a good physician, who has allowed me to get well quite naturally—he decided that the only thing needing serious watching was the throat & had prepared if the disease there went beyond a certain point to call in a skilful New York doctor, for consultation, but fortunately we were saved the trouble—I felt a good deal like myself the most of yesterday, & the same to-day—so I don't think I am hurrahing before I am out of the woods.
—We have a letter from my brother George, down to 18th inst. he was all safe.
—My mother & folks are all well—
—I rece'd the letter enveloped to me 25th—
I sent a line to Wm O'Connor, 25th which I suppose he rec'd—
—Has Nelly gone yet?
—I shall write to her next time—
—Remember me to Ashton with friendship—also to Arnold Johnson with sincere thanks & tell him I am getting well—& give my best respects & thanks to Major Hapgood.
