For Miss Ferguson
Your writing is hardly more intelligible
therefore and it gives me pain to advise upon
such imperfect accounts. It will require time
for you to recover of your ailments but I [cannot?]
{illeg} you better than advise you to continue
the same medicine I ordered before and if you
still as you say remain Costive it makes
me think that you have not taken that
medicine either so largely or so frequently
as you should have done. I am
