How He has
blessed me so many times when there were no other hopes for me to build
on, I have found that I could trust in His almighty power.
I shall not forget the kind care of Dr. Matthews, of this lovely city,
whom God gave to me when I was very low and the three times a day that
he paid his visits to see how I was getting along. He was so kind in his
words to comfort me and to give my mother cheer I shall always think of
him kindly, for the snow was so deep that a horse could not travel very
well and he had to walk it three times a day. I had not my white mother
then to care for me, but my own mother did what she could for me and I
know that she has her reward in heaven for all that she has ever done
for me in the times when I needed the most care.
There is good Dr. Reeves, a good Quaker doctor, and I had to have him to
attend me. He was very kind and gentle in his treatment of me and I am
very glad that I found such a friend in him, for he was like a father to
me? I shall not overlook dear Dr. Warmsley, who was a good doctor to me
and he was kind as he could be, and I shall not forget him, although I
have not seen him for a long time.
What shall I say of the last doctor that I was under out West, and that
is Dr. J. W. Ford, who was so kind to me as a stranger. He would come
when he was sent for.
