Montgomery Ala. Febry. 26/48
Dear Sir,
I have nothing particular to communicate in regard to Dr. Jarvis' illness. There is no remarkable change since my last. The disease seems to be running its course with great regularity. Whether convalescence will be established as usual with us in such afflictions as the end of the second week, or whether it will continue three weeks as sometimes happens, cannot be determined. He has had a remarkably quiet day and is resting very well to night.
I would not write every night, but I know what must be the anxiety of his family to hear but a word from him. So you may expect to hear from me again tomorrow, although there will be hardly a change or anything of note to communicate.
Yrs. truly
Rev'd William Jarvis,
Portland,
Ct.
