User-Contributed Transcription it was laziness but laziness of the heart, and not under my control, the heart beat very faintly indeed, he said I had reached the last point of prostration, but it responded to stumulants (brandy and strychnine) and I have gained right along but rather slowly as usual, yesterday I was up to breakfast as it was washing day but the day was rather long so this morning it was ten o clock befor I got up so you see this time I am taking things slowly, my heart does not bother me now, and bowels and bladder seem healed. That is about enough about myself but I am about the only one I know much about these days so you will excuse it I am sure. The neighbors below here have been very kind indeed Levi Higbys family, Clarence & Fords and Mr. Mullens daughter Mrs. Stewart, Mr and Mrs. Leroy Higby. Seldens wife has been in twice, she had a cold some of the time. The weather and roads have been very bad it blows very hard today but the sun shines. We have a fire in the sitting room since I have been up that makes it much pleasanter. - Last saturday night there came very near being a death from freezing on the hill Mr. Henry Smith and hired man Nate Thayer went to Boonville after feed Smith came home but Thayer did not come, about ten o clock the team came home without him, they immediately started out to look him up and found him this side of Mullens lying in the snow hands and feet frozen stiff (drunk) sunday they were not sure whether they could save his hands or not. I am very glad that John Edw'd is in such a pleasant place I dreamed that I saw him last night. it
