User-Contributed Transcription I had just completed my letter when Samuel came to dinner & delighted and surprised me with a nice letter from you Isaac - seemed like good old times - a whole letter from Isaac all to myself! more the less acceptable surely, however, are they when dear Nettie writes a part. As for my remissions in writing, I "have done what I could" I really think. Please to bear in mind that an unremitting severe head ache for nearly three months prevented me from writing, reading or sewing, or taking much comfort in any way. There, my visit to Milo and since then constant company with changing help and care of baby have kept my time & energies and strength hardly taxed. About three weeks since I sent for a Homeopathic physician at the request of Maria & others, who cured my head
