I wrote you only two days ago.Editorial Note: See 506.56.016. and feel that I want your advice & council. in the matter I have to speak of now.

There are letters Telegrams & words sent to my relatives to know when I can take more patients & not to let me go west but keep me here, people pleading with me to stay here, as there is no one here, & duty calls both ways. There are four in Milwaukee now I suppose Dr & Mrs Sawyer & two of his students. I like to live west better than east. But can live & work where it is best for me to work, where you think I can benefit humanity the most. I want to do what is for the best. I should be obliged to go home for a few days to attend to my household furniture &c.

The enemy are constantly at work with me & my patients. I am trying to follow the rule to the letter. I have one patient who has a belief of insanity and he is better than when I commenced to treat him. Yet I leave some something As Written: thing undone that I ought to do, or feel that I do. The family are hard to work with. They say one thing to me & something else to others. I would like to be remembered by the Association against Malicious Mortal Mind on my patients. My name is in the papers & every everyone As Written: one nearly is talking of me.

Please answer just as soon as possible.
