If the ship has good luck you may receive that letter before this, but it is most probable that you will receive this first.

    Since I have been in Savannah we have had more unpleasant weather than pleasant, so of course I have been in the house most of my time. During the fine weather, I can almost feel myself improve, but the rainy, windy days are almost as bad for me as the stormy days at the North. There are many who have recovered health here, but it is always by staying here through the summer. Mr. Olmstead the Cashier came here some 15 years since and told me that he cured himself by keeping in the house during the winter and remaining through the summer. However I hope to derive benefit even during the winter - and if I had you here to look round for ? very soon, so that if it should please God that I should be spared for a time, I may be able to stay here next winter and have you with me. I feel that I cannot live in the north.
