[conclusion of letter by E. F. Paxton]
Jany 27
Yesterday I concluded after writing this to
come to town and get Comfortable
quarters as I felt much inclined to chills
I slept pretty well last night and
this morning am not suffering any pain
I hope to be well in the course of a few days
Should I get worse I will write tomorrow
[transcript by Mary Roy Dawson Edwards]
