Montgomery Ala. March 4/48

Dear Sir.

I am happy indeed in being able to make a good report of the Doctor to day. He is entirely convalescent. He is really doing so well that it is wholly unnecessary for me to add another word.

If I had any thing particular to say, I would write again tomorrow, but as it is, you need not expect to hear from me till the next day.

Respectfully yrs.
J. Marion Sims.

Rev'd William Jarvis,
Portland,
