Blessing of almighty God, that every Post I shall
be able to give you a Comfortable Acc^t. of my
Bro^r to Day he was gott up, so as to have the Bed
made, it hurried & fatigued him a little for he
is really exceeding weak & low _ _ _ if it Please
God that he continues to recover, it will be some time
yet before he can be moved into the Country, tho as soon
as that can be done, undoubtedly it will be put in
practice, & the Physicians will advise him to go there
we have a fine season of the year now coming on, w^ch is
another advantage & I hope that Bro^r in a little time
will be in a Capacity to take the Advantage of it
