I have nothing strange to write. I have not been well for 6 weeks but keep going the most of the time. I cannot get to rest long enough to get stout. The rest are all well. Times are hard here.
Money is scarce.
Provisions are plenty. It is a hard time to collect, but I can collect more money here than we did there. I am gaining practice all the time. Not braging nor nothing so but the People generly say that I am the best doctor in Arkansas. That is those I have done practice for.
