User-Contributed Transcription Glen Haven, Oct. 9. 1852Dear Cousins Sarah & Mary.I presume you have heard before now that I made up my mind to go to Glen Haven. well I am now this moment at that beautiful place and have a room that fronts the road and have a beautiful view of the lake, it is splendid to look at it when the sun shines bright.I suppose you know that Old Mrs. Jackson is staying with her son now and I find her a very pleasant old lady. she comes to see me regular two or three times every day. and most every afternoon I go over to her room and stay about an hour with her. she always has enough to say. Father came with me. we started about eleven and reatched here about seven, dont you think we traveled very fast? I do not know exactly how many miles it is. but I got considerable tired, we had to ride eighteen miles in a carriage after we got off the cars. Would you like to know what treatment I take? well I will tell you then. in the morning at five I take a drip sheat. at ten sitz foot and hand baths, twelve I am packed, foot bath at six and take a hot fomentation on my stomach at half past eight. but I had almost forgot to tell you that I was a wet cap all day. The Dr. thinks I had not better take much of any exercise just now. for when I get little tired or excited I have one of those spasms.
