Dear Kate
I recieved you most welcomed note this morning by Lizzie It found me something
better than I was last Sabbath. My toe is little or no better yet. I suffer a
great deal with it & expect for it to be painful for a week
or two. dear Kate you wish me to come down & more its my great desire to
come soon as I possibly can, I will have to improve very fast if [deleted: to] I get
down the last of the week for I am so weak at present that I cannot hop across
the room without assistance I hope by the last of the week I may be able to find
the way to my darlings side
[page 2]
I had a great
notion to tell Lizzie that she might have let you come up today in her place.
But she might have told me better I am a thousand times better obliged to you
for the eatables you sent My appetite is something better than it was some days
past well L has come & wants to go so I cannot write much more be in
good spirits I am so sad I cannot write any thing that will be of interest I will come down soon as I possibly can
nothing more but remain your true friend & lover
Willie
