Dear Sir.
Dr. Jarvis has been to day suffering a good deal with a severe pain in the hip. It requires considerable doses of morphine for its relief, otherwise he is doing very well. I fear however that his disease will continue for another week before convalescence is fully established.
Excuse the brevity if you please as I have barely time to write.
Yrs. very truly.
J. Marion Sims.
Rev'd William Jarvis,
