Han recd your note, with 1 dollar was too weakly to read it, just then. Is very
poorly, feeble, nervous, emaciated, brain affected through prostration of physical
power, from two very protracted attacks/jaundice & has taken much medicine,
necessarily—has every edible thing suitable for her convalescence, yet does
[illegible] acquire any energy
weather very hindering, cold, or coldly damp—house comfortable however good
heater in sitting room of course her disorder admit[illegible] of no philosophy—She is
sick—very sick" indeed Charlie"—Yet I feel encouraged that she will get
better—well, after a time—can get up stairs and return—cook her
own victuals, agreeable to herself—
I gave a couple of paintings away (allmost) to buy a tin of coal and a few groceries—
Neither Geo or Lou, write to her—might send her a trifle—
Charlie—
