Brother Isaac,

I feel as I must write you to night although I hardly know what to say. I fear that Lucy is failing fast and that we may at any moment recalled to part with her. She has lost strength for two or three days very much and her cough is growing worse distressing her very much to raise anything unclear lungs. There are small abscess's constantly forming and breaking on her lungs, Dr McRowen calls them cormica?. Our hope is that she may find relief from confinement within a few days. I do not know that I can ask you to come to Bangor but I do feel a very earnest desire that you come here. Her efforts sometimes in raising are such that we fear her strength will fail. I will try to write you daily

Yours S.W. Furber
