Montgomery Ala. March 18/48
Rev'd William Jarvis.
Dear Sir. The arrival of Dr. Kellogg has made a new man of Dr. Jarvis. He sets up most of the day and has been riding out for two days past. He is gaining strength very fast, but I cannot tell how long it may be before he can safely travel. As I said before, I shall be sure to hold on to him till it is altogether prudent for him to make a move homewards.
Believe me as your friend.
J. Marion Sims.
