It was just a month ago yesterday that I began to mend and
get well. Oh, how grateful I am for the mercies of this past month! I have
suffered two awful disappointments, but when I think how much worse it might
have been, I can only be thankful and patient. A year ago I was at Pittsfield,
just going to Saratoga. What a pleasant time I had. That is past for this year.
I am still very anxious about my horses — wish I knew they were safe at home.
They are safe anywhere so long as Tieman is with them. At the Learneds’ one
year ago.
