I am here after a ride of two days; first day to WiscessitEditorial Note: Wiscasset, Maine where I stoped Corrected: stopped over nightCorrected:overnight, next morning at 10' o'clock got into a lvilainousCorrected:villainous old veheicle and felt a sensation of being in a hen-coopCorrected:hencoop on the top of a churn-dashCorrected:churn dash for about 6 hours! When the symptons Corrected: symptoms began to subside, and so [?] Unclear or illegible  did the old cart.

Found my friend glad at last that I had got here. She was not a little disappointed on Thursday and Sat. Friday, at not seeing me; said her brother kept watch f [?] Unclear or illegible or me until the Stage came in at 1/2 2 o'clock Friday Morning; every night she had a cry, till Sunday, when she gave me up for lost or never to come. She is in a peculiar condition; last Saturday she had a paroxismCorrected:paroxysm of what she called "difficulty of breathing on account of the easterly wind.' I sat down by her, took her hands and xexplain [?] Unclear or illegible ed in my poor way what it was, instead of what it was not as she had understood it.. In a little, her breath became natural, and to my surprise even, she raised phlegm easily and has scarcely coughed any sinceEditorial Note: Mary Baker Eddy included this experience as an example of metaphysical treatment on pages 184 and 185 of Science and Health with Key to the ScripturesMary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures184:27A woman, whom I cured of consumption, always
 breathed with great difficulty when the wind was from
 the east. I sat silently by her side a few moments. Her
184:30breath came gently. The inspirations were deep and nat‐
 ural. I then requested her to look at the weather-vane.
 She looked and saw that it pointed due east. The wind185:1had not changed, but her thought of it had and so her diffi‐
 culty in breathing had gone. The wind had not produced
185:3the difficulty. My metaphysical treatment changed the
 action of her belief on the lungs, and she never suffered
 again from east winds, but was restored to health.., till To-dayCorrected:Today. So I have laughed at her about the wind veering according to P. P. Quimby. I say to her, "why even the winds and waves obey him"Matt 8:23 ¶And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. Matt 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. Matt 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. Matt 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. Matt 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. Mark 4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. Mark 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. Mark 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Luke 8:22 ¶Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. Luke 8:23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. Luke 8:24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. Luke 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

But last evening we made a mistake. I had a letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. from Mrs. Crosby which. I read abloud (unwisely) and in which [?] Unclear or illegible  she anticepatedCorrected:anticipated the time when I should again be with her. I stopped as by intuition, looked at Mary and she was the picture of despair. This morning she told me her night was sleepless, that she felt I should leave her and all she had tried to live for was to see me. What could I say? I must of course leave her, but I told her not until she was more self reliantCorrected:self-reliant and willing I should go. Still she is weeping and I can't yet get her out of it. When I sit by her she seems frightened and nervous, I can notCorrected:cannot feel any physical suffering of hers as I did of Hannah. Her nervousness has got into my errors in a lump. I wish you would come to my aid– help me to sleep and relieve the confined state of the bowels. Dear Doctor, what could I do without you? I feel less physical strength this spring than I did last, my nervous excitement at one time weakened me, I then had a jaw of trouble and still have so I can't eat enough; all this, and none of this, is what's the matter, is it, not? I do not want to return to PortlandEditorial Note: Portland, Maine to stop if I can avoid it. If I could have my husband with me and be at home, I would like there; but! but! but! I like people of common sense, and common justice, or else I like to laugh where the joke comes in. I cannot be deceived in character— I have seen not a little of life in most conditions, and I cannot stoop to conditions. I will not bow to wealth for I cannot honor it as I do wisdom, & I despise an individual who does. I respect my "house holdCorrected:household God" and give it an identity, call it by no name, but always know it when I see it. It never appears in envy, or of jealousy, but loves all good attainments in every oneCorrected:everyone, pleased to acknowledge them better than riches, and exalting above all else their possessor. Love to George
