10/16/44 Letter: "As you have not answered my letter, I
fear that telling you of a medical doctor's comments re.
the diagnosis you so kindly made for me, has distressed you.
Please know that such was not my intention. I am in great
pain a great deal of the time, and there are times when I do
not feel like myself. Also my stepfather has turned me out,
and suggested that I seek admittance in the Poorhouse; so
earning a living with my head condition is something and
sometimes a terrifying problem.
I believe your diagnosis. There is something else that I
should tell you. The doctors will not credit this either,
despite x-ray proof. After striking my head, the severe
blow, skull x-rays showed a shadow. This was diagnosed as
a spicule of broken bone projecting inside the skull. There
were no brain surgeons in our part of the country, so nothing
could be done to help me. I could not afford to journey to
a distant city in another province for help. Several months
later, one night when in excruciating pain, I cried out to
God with all my heart for deliverance. Almost instantly,
there was a snapping round my head. I felt that the spicule
of bone had gone back in place. The headaches continued
after this, but I did not experience the sharp, pricking
feeling that I used to have prior to this occurrence. The
next x-ray showed nothing to be wrong, proving my belief in
divine aid. However, the doctors only ridiculed this. The
latter x-rays were taken at a different hospital, and I was
told that the first x-rays were probably read incorrectly.
Being without money or position, I could not ask that the
x-rays in both hospitals be compared. Your diagnosis as to a
thickening of brain casement would easily be true, as a sharp
piece of broken bone irritated the brain tissues of my head
for several months. The doctors do not credit the extent
of my illness, I believe, because of my attitude toward it.
Because I have always been cheerful and have had a strong
belief in God's ability to deliver me. This belief has
enabled me to sleep without taking drugs and has been the
dominating factor all through my illness. Because I try
always to be cheerful and do not talk about my illness to
friends, people, including my stepfather, think that I am
well. I have always felt that telling others of any illness,
one might have, would only serve to foster the condition
more firmly to one. However, you knew the truth. Today I am
running a fever, suffering with nausea, great soreness in my
head and usual defects. I dare not think of the future, or
of tomorrow. I should like you to know that I appreciate
your past kindness."

copy of the reading, but should like to consider it again...

possible."
