reiterate my offer of service
if in my power to render any

offered.  You better see you never
meet any one any prouder

hearty  richness and they

My dear Miss Barton /
I am in receipt of your very
kind letter and scarcely 
know how to express my
thanks for the interest you
therein manifest in my 
welfare.  I quite agree
with Mr. Learner about
Leicester & have abandoned
the idea of settling there
and have taken a house
a very nice one in Orange
that in this City it is large
enough to hold both Stevie's
family and mine and 
gives me a good officeat the rear of the building
there is a nice yard where
the little ones can play
which I hope will be of
benefit to Myatis who is
suffering from the confinement
of this house, moreover its is
is in a good place one
which Dr Saipent said
was about the best there
was now open in this City.
If it should not answer
I shall surely avail
myself of your very very
kind offer to use your
house as a point of observation
to reconoiter  the chances of
Grafton fever.  We move in 
1st of August and as

soon after as I can I shall
run up to Grafton to see you
and personally endeavor to
convey to you how very highly
I esteem your sisterly offer
for had I that claim on
you your free hearted
invitation could not have
been more cordialy given
I saw Madlle Kupfer today
she had quite forgotten me
but when I recalled her
memory she told me that
you were tolerably well &
had been down  more than
once since, I was much
pleased to hear that your
convalescence was not
of a fleeting nature I
do hope you will continue
to gain strength day by dayWORCESTER MASS. AUG 27

My dear Miss Barton
I dare say
that you have before now
wondered that I have not
put in an appearance at
N.E. Village but the reason
has not been want of inclination
but this the intervention of
a scheme I have on hand
to introduce myself to the
public more fully, it is to
appoint every Monday
to be at Oxford Plain and
every Wednesday at Grafton
or N.E. Village according
to which would offer themost inducement or
would be the best for
practice This scheme was
put into my head by
Dr F. A. Kelly of Worcester
with whom probably you
are acquainted.  I have
had some good sized
placards in card form
printed and numerous
circulars which I intend
to issue pretty freely
because most likely I
shall see you this week
with Stevie and then
if you would help

us with your clear
practical judgment
upon the matter you
would confer a deep
obligation on me.
I saw Marnie last week
she is in health very 
much improved &
her ears were also very
much better but she
took a cold and they
were not so well at
the time I saw her as
they previously had
been.  She told me 
that you were soFarmersville

My dear Miss Barton, 
                I hope you have
not thought me either rude or
ungrateful in not before replying
to your more than kind letter, but 
the truth it I hoped 'ere this to have
been able to reply in person with
Docia but such happiness has been
so far denied us Yet I hope (yes
hope is the word not trust) to be able
to accept your kindly invitation
before summer is over. With regard 
to the position of [Tewkesbury] I am not 
disappointed for I did not expect
it having formed the same opinion
that you did (viz) that the Govnr had
a successor already picked out. 
I have heard twice from N.O. since
I met you [Thurs] & am happy to 
hear that Mamie is safely over
her accouchement which from 
her debilitated look a the time
of poor little Bella's funeral I haddoubts as to her weathering the storm
I have had considerable sickness in
my own house you know my wife
was not well when I saw you
She is now some better and able
to dine out sometimes but is not 
not so strong and well by much
as I could wish.
         How you do bear
the fatigue, plague, responsibility &c
of your new position? I often wonder
that you accepted anything so
harassing after your past
feverish life.
          How much I should 
like to have a talk with you
about the other side London, Warwick
Kenilworth, Liverpool &c I was talking
to a person who had been lately six
months in London & had not seen
Westminster Abbey, the Houses of
Parliament, the Crystal Palace, 
British Museum, Drury Lane or
Regents Park & did not [?] the
Clocks or Bridges over the Thames!!!!
With our wishes love I remain
yours sincerely Tho Willmot MD
