June, 8th 1897
Dear Marcia:–
The past few days ahave been exceedingly hard ones on me, in fact so hard that I felt if they would be obliged to continue a week longer I would gladly forfeit my year's salary and come home. They were days of dining out and meeting various "high" officials — government and others. Oh my poor stomach! It couldn't stand it and I was sick. Still they insisted and I was obliged to continue the festivities until I was obliged to send for a doctor simply to help me out. He happened to be a sensible man and said that I must abstain from all kinds of liquors — just what I wanted him to say for I knew very well that what ailed me was chiefly wine, brandy, whisky etc., along with stuffing myself with new dishes when I had no appetite.
I have been out of the hands of "friends" just 24 hours and I am nearly myself again. I hope to be able to keep away from all din
