We arrived here this morning all right. and found everyone As Written: every one apparently glad to see us – Miss Belle Beecher and her mother called to see me today and left a DollarEditorial Note: $1 in 1884 is equivalent to $27.69 in 2017. for a year’s As Written: years subscription for your Journal. The Paper is to be sent to 122 South Lincoln St. to Miss Belle Beecher. The Young Lady is a niece of Henry Ward as I think I told you before.

I have not seen anything As Written: any thing of Miss Brown yet. And as I have but just arrived I have not much in the way of news to write. I hope when you think of me if you should that you will send me an encouraging thought – as I have given The People here and all of my Patients to understand that -- I shall do a great deal Better after having been to the College and I shall use my every endeavor not to reflect discredit on that institution –
