I have this morning
received your two letters from
Charleston– telling me you
will be detained a week longer
than you anticipated – I am
sorry on account of our garden
at home – I am to day much
better than I have been since
Saturday the day that Dr
Birkey

stantly suffering with pain
in my teeth neuralgia in
my head and face – My
teeth disappoint me as I fear
they will you –
