          After patiently waiting ten days, a call came and
 I attended to it - all went off well - A favourable
 impression was made. - In ten days more another
 call came - a case of fever which yielded under
 my treatment in about twelve days - During this
 time I had several other cases, and my business has been gradually increasing
 ever since.


 Last week my business amounted to $37.75 cents. - This
 is the largest ^ [inserted: amount] charged in one ^ [inserted: week] but for the three weeks
 previous the average charges per week were about $20.


 We have just now established a new Post Office
 at Squan Village by which we have daily intercourse
 with New York. - I should be most happy to
 receive a visit from you if it would be agreeable


 Please inform me how your good family are.


 How does our friend Holton prosper. Should be
 happy to have him visit me this summer. If he
 could be accommodated with lodgings, I should
 be happy to accommodate him for a fortnight or
 so but my apartments are at present to small for
 my own family - My table however is plenty
 large enough. -


 At present I can do nothing with my plants
 for want ot time but more expecially for want
 of room. - I expect to have an Office built
 soon - At present I have not room to unpack
 my plants. I have not collected 100 specimens
 of plants this year. -


 I met with Dr. J. P. Lewis a few days since
 who has been in the habit of doing business here
 for about 40 years. Says he was a classmate with
 yourself at College and a pupil of Hossack's -


 Unasked for he gave me the most flattering promises
 to aid me in any way to advance my interests


 Believe me sincerely yours


 P.D.Knieskern
