My Dear Daughter,

I wrote a long letter to Isaac last week & directed it to Ducoign perhaps it will not get there till he is away from there - not worth much if he never gets it no matters. My health is pretty good now tho' I am not near as strong as before I was sick. I have some cough and soreness in my side - but it seems to be getting better am nearly or quite as fleshy as before. I've had a queer feeling from the time I began to get better I can hardly describe it. It was some like hiccough or catching the breath - or as I told Eliab it seem'd as if something suddenly caugh hold of the roots of my breath or occasioning attended with very sharp pain & occurring at first every few seconds then at longer & longer intervals till now only a few times a day.
