I take the liberty of forwarding you a line by Mr. Philbrick —

Those teeth you named, requiring to be filled, are very sensitive and at times painful. Will you please inform me if it were best to have it done immediately? I would like to retain as long as possible all I have left! feeling chagrin of my present mouth, most essentially.

Never knowing before the loss of teeth, I was ignorant of all the difficulties I find attind Corrected: attend s it. I think you must get me a temporary set, that I may get used to the plate and appear otut, by and by.

Will it not be best?
