Had the Dr., nothing was said about them sleeping together and windows closed. He waited on him for 4 months. His brother often complained about the close room. His brother died with TB. It hurt this one so he decided to just go wild. He could not shake his trouble off. He was studying to be a Dr. One day a tall girl with a black suitcase stopped and talked to him. He was so impressed with her he decided to make good. He learned to be a Dr and married her. He took her on a wedding trip to London to see his people. While there he began to feel bad and went to see a Dr. There he told him he was run down. When he came back here he keeps on going."Subject Person/Organization
