Tuesday afternoon June 28 '64
Dear comrade
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.
