I think his medicines are working well, and that I shall soon be gaining. My appetite is good and I sleep well. I cannot expect to get well at once. It came on so gradually I shall be likely to be slow in mending. but the doctor says when I once get well started I shall mend faster. He seems much interested in the case and I think will do as well as he can. I have been much favored in getting help as I hardly dared to hope. A friend came in and asked if I did want help. As young lady in school wished to work for her board. She has been here now a week or more and we like her very much. She understands works well, cooking &c so it relieves me very much. The rule here is to work five hours a day. John and Hattie have gone to Phi[??] and I supposed will bring back someone with them. next mon. night
