CATALOG NUMBER HF 3031 K OBJECT NAME Letter DATE 1830-1835 AUTHOR Margaret E. Hathaway RECIPIENT Ann(e) Hoffman Nicholas MEDIUM Paper, ink DESCRIPTION Letter of thanks to Ann Hoffman Nicholas for inquiring about her health and offering remedies. PEOPLE Emma PLACES EVENTS KEY WORDS *Original spelling retained throughout work, content appears exactly as written. [PAGE 1] Dear Mrs Nicholas,/ Your medicine unlike/ others will be pleasant instead of/ repulsive because prescribed by affection/ and shall be daily taken. If it/ should not remove the cough you may/ have the satisfaction of knowing that/ the gift of it has added another to the emotions of grateful affection/ I feel for you and yet spent by/ the tears it caused. My cough is/ better today although I have not been/ able to sit up from weakness and pain/ in my side and am writing on the/ bed; may that excuse all imperfection/ My sincere thanks for your kind inquires/ as well as remedy and remembrances from/ the family to you and Emma. Did you send/ the [prudence]? [unrecovered] Your friend/ Margaret E. Hathaway/ [END OF LETTER]
