My dear Mary

Ba has just recovered from her second attack which has not been quite so long as that of yesterday neither was the first of this Morning, and both tolerably easy in the conclusion– She has had some little difficulty in making Water and to assist her nerves of the Bladder it was thought necessary to put on a second Blister on the very bottom of the Back; of course this created some uneasiness, but she is now quite comfortable– I trust it will have the effect in stimulating the Parts to do their proper office– Bro is very much better and I hope to dispatch him in a day or two– I hope to have fond accounts of all my dear loves to-morrow– Tell dear Addles her delightful Letter of Friday charmed us very much– God bless you all

Dearest Mary yr affectionate

EMB–

Tell my dear Boys Stormy and Harry, that I know they will take what medicines are thought necessary for them– They with all are darling Pets.
