Sir, I would like to have you get me 12 or 14 lbs of feathers if you can find them and I will pay the money for them the first time you come to Conneaut get them as cheap as you can I bought some last fall for 3 shillings a lb.  
I should think that I was most well, was it not for the soreness in the region of the lungs and the spitting blood. perhaps I shall be better of that soon 
Mary. A. Wood
[postscript upside-down:] 
N.B. If you get the feathers please send them in the course of 4 or 5 weeks
