nv system rather weak aud my disposition
q little nervous and cross. 1t (paralysis)
has visited my family very much Ia late
wears. notice that it takes people OF act

rest enough, and / know that do not, but
| am compelled to now, for awhile. l had
no pleasure during the holidays, but passed
them very gloomy. Did you have a good
time? What did you do and where did
Won 20? As soon as l can get around once
more you shall have your present, but l
must submit TO electric batteries for awhile
and rest. ! hope Lille is fully well by this
time, to commence a new year feel

PURPOSES. | could not for the life OF me
