User-Contributed Transcription Bangor Aug 17To Isaac & Nettie Dear Lucy & baby are living yet I have written a week how great hopes that L might get better but our hopes grow fainter - our fears stronger she has been comparatively free from pain has rais'd freely with her effort & her strength held out remarkably her feet didn't swell as much - her bowels in good order. But the last 3 days she has a Diarrhea - & to check it she is kept constantly under the influence of Opium is almost all the time in an unquiet restless sleep - her feet are swelling again she dont say much about herself O I suppose we must believe that the time is short with her - is not our time short too are we not all passing away[top of letter upside down]her pulse has been 140 now 120 the Dr. says
