Dear Sir,
I am much as you left me yesterday—Weak, but (I hope) gathering strength.
You have a receipt, at the foot of your A/c for the money paid me yesterday—In the one sent you some time ago to be forwarded to Mr Veatch it was mentioned that the 18/9 was to be charged to the A/c of Chas McDeavitt.1
Doctr Thorntons plan is returned with thanks;2 our love to Patsy
& the Children; to Mrs Law also—with hopes of her perfect recovery. I am—Yr aff[ectionat]e
Go: Washington
