Visitor has located himself on "the shin" just above the ankle and thus hobbles me. It will be a few days only, I hope, before I am able to locomote as usual. I believe the work of the office goes on well, as I have all papers requiring immediate action sent over to me daily.-

Mrs. Edwards is slowly improving, but suffering from great difficulty & pain in swallowing her food & medicines which is of course a great drawback to her continued & advancing convalescence.

Yours very truly
L.A. Edwards
