My dear Isaac and Amy. Glen Haven Aug 1^st 1848.

I am compelled to come to Rochester to consult

Doctor Edward Moon for Polypi [sic] in the Nose in the course of

a few weeks. I can not make two Journeys. So you must

forgo what little help I might render.

My letter has been written at Snatches of time, I can

not recommend it. All that it will do will be to show

you that I am with the women in this enterprize [sic].

Give my regards to all my old friends rest

assured that because our parties have for a few [grew?] been some

what divergent, I have thought none the less of them or less

grateful for their attentions in the Auld lang syne.

I must ask you, & I beg that you will not

forget my request, to send a copy of what low paper your

proceedings may be published in write my letter should it

be thought worth publishing by [illegible] of your condition. I am

the more solicitous as I have written it in great haste

and have taken no copy.

With love

Yours James C. Jackson

P.S. Mrs Kudzie will accept of our regards through you

and you will say to her that we have 40 Patients.
