Balt. Mar 1st 1854
Mr. D. G. Smith
Dr Bro
Having written to you and E. this morning, I
merely write to inform you that your letter dated 24th ult. is
just received, having been missent as the envelope testifies and
this accounts for your silence as we supposed. The draft is safely
received. Your explanation with regard to the deed of trust is
fully satisfactory to Mr. H. He does not wish a copy. We do not
think there is any ground for uneasiness on Mr. H's account. The
reason why he cannot sit up is on account of the location of the
disease. He cannot bear the pressure upon the part which would
ensue if he were to sit up. Should there be any change that would
be dangerous we would inform you immediately. I will write often
and let you hear from him. He is much obliged to you for attending
to his matters. Please excuse all errors as I am in a great hurry.
Our love to all.
Most truely
E. P. Hamilton
(Mrs. M. G. Hamilton to her brother-in-law)
