I am constrained to write you, feeling as I do the great mistake I made in not trying to reach you when I had more strength. I have been at this Water CureEditorial Note: Vail’s Hydropathic Institute between 2 and 3 months, and when I came could walk 1/2 a mile, now I can sit up but a few minutes at one time. Suppose I have faith sufficient to start for you do you think I can reach you without sinking from the effects of the journey? I am so excitable I think I could keep alive till I reached you but then would there be foundation sufficient for you to restore me– is the question. I should rather die with my friends at S. BridgeEditorial Note: Sanbornton Bridge (now Tilton), New Hampshire, hence I shall go to you to live or to them to die very soon. Please answer this yourself.
