treatment but be thorough. It is true it is not pleasant to rise mustard or blisters, but you have much better suffer the external pain for a time than to let your disease make headway. For my part I much refer the smart of mustard to the internal pain, & the tickling in the throat & cough & I love life for the sake of my family. Blisters are not near as painful as mustard. Dear Wife I feel sure that if you will only vigorously & faithfully attend to yourself you will gradually regain your health & I am so anxious to have you well for the sake of our children & for my sake. You owe it to us to do all you can to regain your health. Will you not then at once carry out Doct. Higday's suggestions as much as possible. Our children need both your & my constant care & in the prospect of losing our land here in Indiana I feel doubly anxious for us both to live & be well so that we can properly Educate & train them for lives of usefulness. Just think what a terrible disaster it would be to our children & to me your husband whom you love so well for you to be sick & die. You must resolutely make up your mind to do all in your power to become perfectly well again & as resolutely do it & I think you will once more be well & happy. Will you not, dear one, promise me that you will. Don't fail to answer me this question truly for I cannot but feel very unhappy about you till I know you are doing all in your power to be well again. I am so afraid that you will put off taking care of yourself from day to day that I cannot rest easy
