I thought I would write and let you know how I am feeling. I think something is working against me. I get very tired, doing a small amount of work, and I think of giving up treating the sick. I have a good field to work in here, and I have done some good work here, but for the last week I feel exhausted. I hardly feel able to do much for the sick. I know I should be able to put this down, and I am sorry that I am not able to do so. I am ashamed to tell you how weak and foolish I am, but I thought best for me to do so. there is no better place for me at the present time than SpringfieldEditorial Note: Springfield, Massachusetts, and if I cannot do the work here I shall not attempt to do it in any other place. I shall try and overcome this, and if I cannot do so soon, I will give up the fight, and go into some other business. I wish you would write to me as soon as you get this, as I know you will have something to say to me. I dont care what you say. say something. I will not write any more until As Written: untill I hear from you.

Please direct your letter to Belmont House Springfield, Mass.
