10/16/28 Letter from EC to [
340], [
348]'s wife:
"...We enclose herewith the reading as gotten this morning.
I certainly am in hopes that the suggestions given will add
to the already bettered condition. As you see from the
prescription, it will be necessary for [
348] to get a doctor
to write this for him. I think he can get one there, or Mr.
[
270] will be able to suggest someone if [
348] doesn't know
one. Don't be uneasy about the amount of morphia that's in
this. It's only a very small quantity. As you can see, it
would only be a fortieth of a grain, or about two milligrams,
and would only act as a stimulant, not as a narcotic in that
proportion. I'm sure you will find this very helpful..."
12/11/28 [
340]'s letter to EC:
"...I'm certainly slow about acknowledging the prescription.
[from Dr. House] [
348] had it filled and has finished taking
them already. You said in the reading you thought twenty
capsules would be enough. I'll see how he gets along and if
I think he had better have some more, I'll have it filled
again. He has a pretty good appetite but doesn't gain a
pound. In fact, looks badly I think; but he is sticking to
his diet, and hasn't had any pain (as far as I know; he is
the kind to never say anything about his pains) for a long
time. He is still wearing his belt [XX Radium Appliance pad
or belt] seems to be a part of him now..."
1/14/29 Wife [
340]'s letter:
"...Xmas and New Years [
348] had too many rich meals I
think and got his stomach all upset again, and besides
having flu has suffered terribly from his stomach and
hasn't been able to get himself straightened out yet.
At your earliest convenience I'm going to ask you to
give both of us a reading. If you prefer to give it
jointly that will be fine - whatever you think. The
capsules that you prescribed in [
348]'s last reading he
had filled the second time and has taken them - but he
doesn't seem to be doing any good. I think perhaps he
had better have a general reading this time..."
1/25/29 [
340]'s letter to EC:
"...I am really worried most to death about [
348]. He looks
dreadful, and has no strength or vitality whatever..."
2/12/29 Wife [
340] submitted questions.
2/15/29 See
348-4.
