Montgomery Ala. March 2/48

Dear Sir.

I have but little to say in regard to the Doctor. After we got him easy of his hip suffering to day he seems quite cheerful and is to night comparatively comfortable.

He has no bad symptoms whatever and I would be glad if you could all feel satisfied that he seems doing well. As there is so little to say, I may not write for two days.

Yrs. very truly.
