Still he is unable to use his right hand in the least. Can possibly raise it to his face. his general health is quite poor this winter being obliged to take medicine all the time. a year ago this winter he had stoppage of the bowels and since then has had great trouble in keeping his bowels in good condition. they are constipated & irregular

Last August he had an apoplectic As Written: appopletic fit while walking on the street and a few weeks afterwards had another. he had a slight attack about ten days ago, but not so bad.
