Dear Sir,

I address you briefly stating my case. I have been sick 6 years with spinal inflammationAs Written:inflamation, and its train of sufferings— gastric and biliousAs Written:billious. Last Autumn my husband addressed you a letter respecting my caseEditorial Note: See V03340., and has always been very anxious for me to see you; I am now unable to go to you.

I was getting well this spring, but my dear husband was taken prisoner of war by the Southrons and the shock overcame me and brought on a relapse; I want to see you above all others. I have entire confidence in your philosophy as read in the Circular sent my husband (Dr- Patterson) Can you, will you visit me at once? I must die unless you can save me. My disease is chronic and I have been unable to turn myself or be moved by any but my husband for one year at a time. I am just on the verge of such sufferings again. Do come and save me. Do you remember A. H. Tilton and Geo S. Baker of Sanbornton BridgeEditorial Note: Sanbornton Bridge (now Tilton), New Hampshire? I am the youngest sister of the latter.— Mrs. Tilton is anxious you should see me. Please pardon all errors I write in bed and without ceremony
