Han is certainly better, although fluctuating in her condition.
I essayed to drive with her yesterday but was compelled
to return. Some nights she does not sleep, at others sleeps well. She is about the
house this morning: little appetite. She keeps your letters close by her: she cannot
read much, or endure reading or talking. Dr Lund is attending her steadily; he is a good physician:
Asks no fee, but I shall pay him in my way. I have used a portion of the money sent to Han,
which I shall repay—to help get a frame. I have numerous good paintings, but
money is scarce. I have to meet my annual interest next week 15 dollars; that paid I shall have a year before me to
housekeeping.
I washed our sheets yesterday, with Siddalls Soap nicely. I shall have a strange and instructing history to report some day probably, but I have saved in household service and other ways, over 60 dollars.
I shall continue as I am[:] our condition, of course is current through the town.
