Yours rec'd , & welcomed. Have been to the doctor's to-day—troubles of breast & left side getting steadier & more severe—in fact in addition to other troubles ugly gastric & catarrhal ones—Am still out & around some, however, & shan't give up yet—
May 7—2 p.m. Nothing new or different—have had a long good call from a friend from Minnesota this forenoon—& a letter & papers from Denmark—
