Mrs. Brownson is writing to Henry in order to relieve his anxiety about his father. The Dr. found Brownson not so well on the previous evening but hopes to get him on his feet again. He was decidedly opposed to the castor oil, laudanum and spirits of turpentine which Brownson has hurt himself by taking, and has changed the medicines. Dr. Grier came to see Brownson on the previous afternoon after not having stopped by for two or three weeks. He lost his wife last summer and has not been worth much since, according to Mr. Brownson who intends dismissing him entirely. Dr. Brown, who also lost his wife, stopped in last week. As a result of a more sensible care of himself Brownson has slept comfortably for the past few nights and Mrs. Brownson is much more encouraged. The rheumatic pains are less acute, and at times he feels wonderfully restless which aggravates the rheumatism and vice versa. P.S. His father received his letter and paper. :: III-3-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
