Dear Dr-

I have only time to write a line before the mail goes out. I have been not as well for several days– have a pain and soreness in the stomach and spine opposite the stomach. My food increases it. When I returned I ate just as the family did, and the three meals of rich food added to the fatigue of my journey revived the old error that such things hurt me. You know I am less than one year from the 39 of supposed disease, and the habit is yet so strong upon me that I need your occasional aid. Yet if 'twere not for visiting I could manage myself; but not being at home I have no tranquility wherewith to aid myself. Please come to me to remove this painEditorial Note: In addition to treating patients who were present, Quimby practiced healing at a distance. and tell me your fee. Enclosed Please find the pay for my last sitting. My sister and her sonEditorial Note: Albert Tilton will visit you at an early period. She has an abdominal rupture and I am very anxious for her restoration. She is very useful to her family and community.

Yours Truly,
Mary M. Patterson
