a degree of health after having been so long afflicted. "God is good."

  I left the Dr's feeling quite hopeful with regard to my future prospects. In some things I am not disappointed, with regard to others, the prospect seems dash. After I had been at home a week I grew so much worse that I could not sleep but little for six nights in succession then I got one good night rest & after that was restless again until a week ago last monday then I commenced gaining & gained very rapidly until saturday last. My nerves gained very much for one week. My friends have talked of taking me to brother Hirams to spend the winter thinking it would be more quiet there then at home - so much work as there at home & our work too seems to tire me. I keep my room now mostly & find it quite an improvement, think by this means I shall be able to remain here. My friends are all very kind & much interested in my welfare. Brother H. says he don't care what the expense, if it will be for my heath. Father feels very anxious.

[[written sideways on left side of paper] All this has not made my head tired so you'll see I am really better in this respect. M?.
