I want to spend the remainder of my days
in his service, I feel assured I have not
long to make my peace with him. I know
I do not deserve this minute. Grant Oh! God
my life may be devoted to thee. I have been
slightly indisposed for the last eight or nine
days. My dear Charles having been sick with
a most threatening aspect either Pneumonia
or pleurisy both of which are very alarming
required my strict attention and influ[?]
the most distressing anxiety. having
been compelled to sit two nights with him
to obey his patient and seldom calls taken
violent cold which has affected my whole
frame and has caused much suffering.
For the last three days been confined with
a violent pain in the breast various
remedies have been applied without
affording any permanent relief.
I hope the Good Lord will forgive my
murmuring and sanctify the affliction
to the good of our souls I am truly thankful
for my dear husbands speedy recovery.
