Wednesday morning.
My dear Henry, I hardly know what to say about
our little boy
day afternoon but with much less violence than the
day before. I gave him some more epecac which
vomited him a number of times and when the
Dr
to day if his fever should return, he did not seem
to have much fever through the night but was restless
and wakeful, he seemed so much reduced by
the medicines he has taken that I made up my
mind in the night to write for you to come imme-
diately home. This morning he appears much less
languid, though weak, he is now amusing himself in
bed with some toys and pictures, dear little boy
how gentle and patient he has been through his illness[ . ]
Reason:
The Dr has just left, he says Frederick has no
fever this morning, will bleed him again this
afternoon if his fever returns. I will write again
tomorrow. your own Frances
