My father coughed
but little last night, yesterday he was a good deal harassed. Could it be
possible to remove his cough, he would get well beyond a doubt. He is very
feeble, but is not so much reduced in flesh as I had supposed before I came on
here. It is the cough as he himself has always said, that is killing him. His
lungs are not at all affected.
He insists on my
writing to some of the family, either at Mansfield or Ashland, every day. I
have but little to communicate in addition to informing you how he passes the
days and nights.
