Abstract:
Weather has been poor the past few days, but he gets outside whenever he can. "I think I am on the right Track to get well, I had a good time while I was gone but not so good as I should if I had ben [sic.] well so as to have gone around more." Captain provided him with Dr. Hoofland German bitters. "I have been to see a clairvoyant Dr. and I can put great confidence in her for she has dun [sic.] great cures where other doctors have failed." The clairvoyant diagnosed him with cankers on his lungs and liver, "that has got to come off." Planning on coming down the next month to stay for the Summer if possible. "this doctor says that I would not live but a short time if their [sic.] was not nothing dun [sic.] for the canker, all that has kept me on my feet so long is stimulating drink and that has been Old boborn [sic.] whiskey."
