I have & still suffer so much agony I am like a child I have longed so for a
letter I have seen one to Charlie with a few lines to me If I
could see one of my own folks I see in that letter you wrote of comeing coming
I suppose dear brother that is asking too much. I dont suffer now, only my
hand, the fever is gone my head is clear my mind has not wandered only when I dozed
I sometimes think you have written. I have been twharted thwarted
or refused so many things I did not like to tell mother but first Charlie was very ugly He would not get a nurse, dear brothe brother
I find I am to too
weak to write. Dr Thayer
I believe thinks all
my thumb wont won't
get well I feel very anxious about it. dear brother write to Dr
Saml B
Thayer & thank him first Charlie refused to go for him.
Saturday Nov 14. Dear broher brother
I suffered dreadfully last night with my hand the Doctor did not come in
yesterday I was greatly frightened about my hand & Charlie scolded me till I
thought I should be thrown in a fever again I make very much trouble but I suffer too terribly to be scolded. I think I shall get
well if I dont don't
get fever but will suffer much my hand is much more painful you know I cant can't
even be roused in bed on account of rais raise
raising my sick hand its it's
hard to write Charlie last night brought me your letter to him I read it
many times its it's
strange he did not tell you how I asked so much for letter. you speak dear
brother of knowing constanly constantly
about my illness. I know that Charlie wrote many times mornings without comeing coming
in to see what kind of a night I had passed my strength fails. I cant can't
say much but Charlie was kind to about about 2 or 3 days then after Doctor
scolded him if I am to be sick much longer I do so want one of my own that belongs
to me &
feels
interested if I only could I dont don't
suppose Mattie being sick dear Mother could
come and I am afraid it would be too hard for her I will ask Dr how long before I
can get just a little relief from pain if he ever comes Charlie has gone for him I
want you to write to him I have often spoken of you let dear brother of all things
in I beg you to not let Charlie know I have wrote to you I run a great risk risk,
write to me, at once perhaps I'll be better soon
be pleasant to Charlie while I am sick on my account
Ellen is very good to me
I should suffer much if it was not for Ellen (Ellen)

Dr just been in & has lanced my arm he says that is the trouble so perhaps I ll I'll be better
