Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Thesis Eclampsia Frances D Proctor Thesis Thesis Eclampsia Frances D Proctor Eclampsia T Thesis Eclampsia The predisposing causes are heredity, and a very nervous irritable temperament. Convulsions, unless they are epileptic, are the most common among children under seven years of age, and this is said to be accounted for by the great predominance of the spinal over the cerebral system. It has been believed that children of a delicate constitution are more liable to eclampsia than those who are more robust for a child may be strong physically and vacant stare and sometimes a peculiar smile. As the attack comes on the movements begin about the head. the eyes are rolled about, or may be fixed, the muscles of the face are drawn and the features greatly distorted, next the upper extremities are rapidly thrown about in every possible way. the lower extremities are not so much affected. The con- vulsions may affect only one side. It is said that convulsions are always accompanied y more or less spasm of the glottis and the muscles of the chest also: so it may be seen how any obstruction, as from pneumonia or hooping cough may cause the convulsions Then in indigestion the nerves supplying the stomach are from the same nervous centre as those supplying the glottis. And those controlling the evacuations are from the spinal system so the effect from intestinal accumulations is conveyed directly to that centre. Children will have eclampsia for years at different periods or may have but a single attack It is important in the diagno- sis to determine to which class the convulsions belong. The only disease with which it can be confounded is epilepsy. If the attack comes on suddenly with- out any symptoms and is follow by unconsciousness it is probably epilepsy. There is always frothing at the mouth when the fit is epileptic. The age also may help to decide the younger the child the more likely it is eclampsia and especially if the child is excitable, and nervous while if the person is nearing adult life and the attack is followed by perfect health between the periods, it is epi- lepsy. The prognosis and treat- ment depend greatly upon a correct diagnosis. It is quite dif ficult when a fit comes on suddenly to decide whether it is idiopathic or sympathetic the Latter ushering in some of the diseases which they complicate, or they may be symptomatic of cerebral disease, and the decision will have to be made from the symptoms which follow. When convulsions seem during any of the diseases which they com- plicate they are almost always sympathetic, but may be symp toms of disease especially when followed by headache, when the convulsions accompany other diseases from which the child seems wholly to recover they are sympathetic. The prognosis depends much upon the stage of the disease at which the convulsions occur, in scarlatenia if they happen occur at the beginning it is apt to prove fatal, but in other diseases the contrary In the sympathetic class although recovery may take place the consequences are likely to be very grave; the most common are hemiplegia and disorders of the mind and vision Treatment: first remove irritating cause, and place the patient in a well ventilated room, this is sometimes enough to stop the paroxysm. Loosen the clothing. It is always well to put the patient in a warm bath. If the patient is of a strong and robust constitution bloodletting may be employed and especially if there is much congestion about the head. If the child is not in condition for this, leeches or cups may be used. An emetic is often used with good results The means to induce vomiting may be tickling the [?auces] or ipecacuanha. Opium may be given although it should always be used with great care when given to hildren, it should not be used n there is a great determination blood to the head, sleepiness or coma are also contra indications to its use. Chloroform is very often given and anaesthesia may be continued for hours allowing it to pass off often enough to feed the child, and no bad results have followed its use, Bromide potassium is often used, When intestinal accumulations are the cause purgatives may be given. https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/c6f2de22c84981eac37675b14f8d0818.pdf 5f7b816776d983d050e8cd21184b12a5 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

But the days flew by so fast, and were so full, in Oakland that I frantically hardly wrote to any one. Perhaps Sister Ella read some of my letters to you, so it will not be wise in me to tell you of the sights and pleasures enjoyed. I hope some time you will come to Cal. for it is a lovely trip. I shall not say whether I advise any friends of mine to take up their abode here, till I have summered, and wintered myself. Oakland is full of Dr’s. many of them have settled there for their health. I am wondering if Dr. Dutcher and family are in the state. I hope some time to get acquainted with them. HOWEVER if I had it to do over again, I would not mind company, and would not want any unless sure it would be perfectly congenial. I found such pleasant gentlemen on the train, I did not mind, if I was the only through lady passenger. I am quite sure you in my place would have lost your heart to one young man. We were delighted, Mother and I, to see the improvement in Mr. Daniels, and Mary we did not know at all on our arrival here. This Oja, pronounced Ohi, is said to be one of the best places in the state, for people with lung and throat difficulties. Many make the mistake of going away before they are finally restored. Mr. D. has bought a little place and intends to remain till he is sure it will be safe for him to leave. Many people sleep on their porches and in tents all sum. Mother and I sleep in our tents every night. We have a great deal of company. The bark of the coyote, hoot of owls, chipping of squirrels, and lizards rustling through the leaves. The mountains seem higher as the days go by, but it is hard to think that there are hills and valleys on them, where all sorts of game roam at will. I am crazy to camp out on them. They say you can see Santa Barbara 30 miles away, and the iocean nearer on the peak of one near ours. Fanny how are you prospering now? Does the practice come along as it ought? Were you surprised at the advent in the Postville parsonage? I was not. How is your Father and Mother. Is Charlie married? I have not had a letter from Sister Ella in a long time or I presume I would know more about you. All join love to you.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Miss Proctor, I was called to see this child not knowing that you were treating it and on sending for you, found you away from home. However, I find in my opinion) simply indigestion from over- feeding and its sequels and prescribed only sach. pepsin with meals and cut the quantity of milk down to [?] not oftener than 2 hours. I think when this indigestion is corrected the diarrhea will stop of itself if not I would use the vegetable astringents with chalk mixture + If I can be of any service to you hereafter in this or any other case, let me know E.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

I’ve heard its gay heart warming ring From Charlottetown to Boundary Bay, On Christmas and St. Patrick’s day, On New Years Eve and Halloween, And all the days that lie between I’ve heard a child’s gay bubbling mirth Like lofty hello upon the earth, A girl’s young laughter clean and sweet, Echoing down a quiet street, As arm in arm they move along, Part of the happy school girl throug. A laugh can fortify a soul And wash a broken spirit whole; Can bring a world of comfort to Not just yourself, but others who struggle along the beaten way, who only live from day to day. I know a woman gay and strong Whose laugh has carried her along The darkest roads of human kind, Who has kept happiness in mind. Through all the sorrow, all the strife, That pile up sometimes in this life. A laugh is such a precious thing, Welcome as flowers in the spring Edna Jacques Ottawa https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/edf3590b730abb00d641050199df60cb.pdf 978ae18367cf7c1933b4e583e54e76f9 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dec. 26/1947 Mrs Frances Ames, M.D. Bolivar N.Y. Dear Mrs Ames: your slips received. I sat right here by a comfortable fire and went to deep reading the first slip. I do that in the evening when the room is comfortable enough and cannot keep awake, Immediately go to bed and cannot sleep for an hour or more. am again at 12 to 2 a.m. If at the latter time I will roll around till 6 a.m as a rule. As soon as it is daylight can lie as comfortably as [ha??ill]. Blood supply to the brain I think makes the difference. Sitting up it is less. In hor- izontal position it is greater. Lying on ab domen produces the next thing to sleep if not the real, but it makes ones’ neck so stiff. If I had [?] lived near where drownings were frequent would devised a support with a centrol piece of pipe over which a board could be balance. Then a body strapped to the board, so head could be alternately up and down. When down compress the jugular to prevent return of [?] blood to brain. W.O.A. LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. The anatomy by Gerrish and other Ameri can authors says there are no adequate valves in the veins in the upper part of the body. Then with the head up strip the jugular down toward the heart. It is senseless to keep the body on the ground drawing air into the lungs of the oxygenated blood is not moved to the brain. Just received communication from the American Med. Association for renewal of information for their med. directory. Suppose you had one some time ago as you would come earlier alphabetically. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year. Yours +c.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929.

There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short.

June 24/27 Mrs Ames;- you will think I am surfeiting you with matters about the [Qui?et]. These clippings however are as much concerning the big Catholic gatherings of 9 Cardinals at Ottawa. Cardinals I think come next to the Pope, though I am not certain. However one paper said the [qui?ts] stole the show. Thousands of course had never seen them. Never have myself. Nothing else exciting here except the voluntary drowning of a bride of 8 days. of [?]. The groom had been oversea 3 years, and believe the suspicion is she had been stepping high.

MAY 21/47 Mrs Ames, M.D Bolivar, N.Y. Dear Doctor: - Yours of recent date received. Sorry to hear you are poorly. You are under no obligation to answer my communications especially as it is tiresome for you to sit up. You are welcome to them if they afford you pastime. It is hard for we to realize that anyone I never saw except as a relatively young person can have changed to a grandmother ninety years old and perhaps almost bed-rid- den. Especially as I seem to be so young and foolish as ever. Going through the medical school was as unpleasant and trying to adapt myself to practicing caused me so much worry that my worrying proclivities must under gone an apoplexy. Since quitting I have tried quite successfully to see the [a??sing] side of affairs even when my best girl friends mar- ried some one else. Have been living alone in one side of a large old frame house formerly my grand- mother and write letters just to pass the time. In a week or two expect a married sister will occupy the other side so shall not be so ill at ease. Enclose some poetry by a female who has piece 2 W.O.A LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. in a daily paper every second or third day; finally I got to cutting them out. Sent the printed copy of this one to a female maid that I cannot remember seeing laugh in forty years acquaintance. I am very slow at taking a [l??it], but after fifteen years or so it really dawned on me there was some spiteful ness about it. Another who invited me to visit her on two or more occasions where she was visiting and also would write to me and give me all manners of hints had to finally ask me if I did not wish to join up with her, before I tumbled to her as [?] anything more than a little hilarious, as she was a very jovial individual. So you [?] stupid some can be. Believe she was [?] for 10 000. I was told 20 000 but doubted it. Told her as gently as I could she ought to worry the fellow who was courting her as I was not in financial position to do so. She did. He did smile and guess she spent a good part of [?] funds trying to keep him alive. Now she lives in Toronto or Montreal. They dont seem to like to join with former acquaintances after having been married. If this is any amusement to you OK. I am smiling while writing it. Personally I have a gastric ulcer or cancer developing. What is use worrying.

Mrs Dr. Frances Ames Bolivar, N.Y. Dear Dr.:- Your recent letter received a few days ago. A quite intelligent Jew at the Falls on your side of the line said he had [?] so much after he married. Be that as it may, I think you learn more about yourself and other people if you do not marry. I would not, wish to be better posted on my own idiosyncrasies than I am. Of course I keep them more or less to myself. I think the minds of medical people get in ruts and they are blind to some every day matters. On recalling the people I have known from my youth up there seem the three classes - Those whose children alternated in sex and consequently were not uncommon. Those whose children ran nearly all [?] males. Those who produces mostly females. I had a list of about 30 of the latter two. If they started out with 3 or more children of one sex and especially if they had 5 girls or so and then a boy he was often a weak inferior sort of specimen, sometimes right up to manhood. Subsequent events would show the father was on the down downgrade physically while it would seem he had been the superior at first. 2 W. O. A. LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. On the contrary if a pair had several males and lastly a female, the mother was failing and passed out first, barring of course intercurrent acute maladies in the other parent. Some of course would have been 3 of a kind (generally girls) and stop producing. One had a girl and 4 boys, but the father lived to quite an age, but died first. Noticing a similar thing in cattle re it seemed to depend on the intensity of the [?] [instinct?] backed up by the physical vigor. A mare would have male colts all her till the last one. One cow I read of had 22 males. then a female. An energetic [?] [?], human and animal produced males. Another thing I think a woman of any particular time will produce a better sample of a girl than a boy; that is that will be easier to handle as an infant, less indigestion and such troubles of infancy. In much cases of twins girl and boy, the girl is easier to raise. Have known of a mother putting the girl on the bottle to let the boy all her nurse to pull him along. Most cases of multiple births that live I believe are girls. Our quints are and I think your quads out west are, while the quads in eastern canada are [?], or else yours are that way. A Toronto paper recently said a university sorority elected Miss Pine Tree as president of course I had to be [?] too and [?] then we had a whole Pine Bush in our class of [?] in ‘85. Enough of this ramble. W.O.A. Langs Each tends to produce opposite sex I am not saying this is so, but would seem as near being so as the chromosome is idea of physiologists, if you have been reading late physiologies. I have 5 standard texts but none later than 1936 https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/d49eccd95d2c1cdc3e6bf111964e4f61.jpg 7b9fb51b54c2cfdf8cc3f9db946f0013 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mrs Frances Ames, MD Bolivar, N.Y. Dear Mrs Ames:- I did not notice that it was the other ladies address you gave as Richburg. Did you ever know what became of Dr Frank Vanderberg after the termination of that Batavia trial of – well his name was not [B???ell] but something like that who was suspected of poisoning his wife with prussic acid. He had been cavorting more or less with May Wiard. Just at that time my father was going down quite fast with cancer and I had to come over here and lost trace of matters. I know the defence had Wittlans and Vaughan of Ann Arbor to prove that. V. had probably produced any trace of the acid he got by his own manifestation. I [?] [?] [?] him as a local chemist Yours truly, W.O.A Langs A.B. has rained all day here. Believe descendant of a bro. of my great grandfather live at Olean, having come from Hornell. The bro. of my [g?g?] located at Bath Lewis Lampo and another. https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/c5729ff8c6bddd514788b41ca4e648f5.pdf 46009ea97a26dfa2df2a0ab311f95062 PDF Text Text ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Dec. 9, 1946 Mrs Proctor Frances Ames:-- Got this name [?] by mistake your welcome letter received this a.m. I congratulate you on your 90th. birth- day. My 83d. was on Dec. 2d., and I did not have a caller. I have no near relations now except two sisters. One has been in the hospital 19 years with arthritis deformans. She is 74. The other born in 1876 (centennial year) was just moving off a farm they had sold. There have been four of us as M.D.'s my uncle, myself, my brother (deceased) and now a nephew. The Lang tribe (from Pa) in Canada started from very common ancestors and remained such till my uncle (grandson of originals) studied. His son a musician is an A.B., LL.B. Then came next in that respect with my M.D. and a LL.B. from a couple of correspondence schools as a pastime. Next my brother, then his son M.C. and his two daughters B.A.'s, B.L.S's (Library sciences). Then a son of another bro. is a B.A. So intellect is [that] the other side of my fathers relatives that started off here with one styled as a major has one M.D. and one D.D.S. and a preacher so I can recall W.O.A. LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. We have both sides printed, same 600 Westbrooks and 30 years later, over 900 Langs. Westbrooks came from Mahockamac Church region in Orange Co. Little Brittain or Newbury. The Langs had a preacher descendant also, but both he and the Westbrook [divi??] died quite young. As remarked before I was forced to study for M.D. While I could enumerate the symptoms of a disease fairly well I could not reverse the process, name the disease from the symptoms, satisfactorily to myself. Then treatment in those days was very unsatis- factory. Prof. W.H. Thomson of N.Y. Univ. said there there were 3 disease remedies, Hg. and Iodide for syphilis and quinine for malaria. All others were symptom medicines. He was the smartest man I ever listened. Very religious but scientific. Was raised around the Mount of Olives, his father was a missionary. He recommended a no meat diet for epileptics because dogs + cat great meat eaters died in convulsions. I think he was a product of Albany medical college. So it does not seem to mat- ter much where you studied, if it is in you. You will be something–Peterson, Brewer and Hoyd. Of course Brewer went to Harvard after Buffalo. I notice Buffalo had a big spree on its centennial. W.O.A. LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. If my writing is worse than usual it is due to my inability to see well. Had an attack of Herpes Zoster, that unilateral trouble, on one side of my face and it affects the eye and haup on. My sister had it in the hospital a few years ago. You are quite well (I hope) [blea?d] with de- scendants. I never was married. Every feunale I was much taken up with seemed to me better off the way she was than she would be with me on her hands, ha ha ha! Dr Heyd who wrote that article on Surgery I sent you visited Moscow and wrote a similar piece on Russian communism. They have everything even to abortion clinics. I had given the article away or would send it to you. Yours truly WO Langs I seldom sign both the O and A as I get them both as Os or both As https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/bf919f45b1cb8ddfcab905e891795afa.pdf 291abd920237d0fa73de937ccb0cc4e1 PDF Text Text ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

July 19/46 Dear Dr. Ames:-- Yours of recent date received. Have rented a modern mach ine for a short time,and got so inte rested in writing something I thought was partly original ,that I used up all my full sheets of paper. You have reminded me of some al most forgotten. Simonett name is fam iliar now. Have a recollection of Burchard if it was he whose wife was there. Died between sessions or some thing to that effect. Would not re membered the name of Miss Culver only that she fainted at the hospital dur ing one of Dr.Moore's clinics in my first year. I nearly did the same at the sister's hospital in '82-3. Was always handicapped by a miserabl inferiority complex. Could tellthe symptoms of a disease but not the disease from the symptoms. Had a brother who graduated here 18 years after I did who was af flicted with too much superiority compl ex I thought. He took after his fathe I after my mother. He left a son who is an M.D,and two B.A. daughters. Another bro. left a B.A. son who is a chemist foe the C.I.L. here a branch of the Du- pont D'amours or some such name on your side . A note from Dr. Alexander says he is going strong at 87. I was but a kid of 21 and 3 mon- ths nearly when we graduated. Was very fortunate in the exam- inations. Had been reading Loomis new work on practice on presystolic and post-systolic murmurs and Dr. R. took me on those. But caelessly said Bronchia instaed of B.breathing in solid stage o of pneumonia. Also told Cary there were 3 lobes in the brain instead of 5 as he claimedX . But then I might come out ah- ead of Frank Comfort which I would not wanted to do. Your postage is 3 cents, ours 4. Yours truly, W.O.A. Langs M.D. You can see am not a professional typewriter. https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/47ec23fa9967735f30bffc9ea5de2722.pdf 1a67c863409fc4bfd9bbd94b0836d192 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

June 15/46 Dear Dr. Ames:-- Yours of recent date received. Glad to hear from you. Had no idea you were quite that age. Congratulations on it and your descendents. I have no distinct recollection of you, tho. I have a faint idea there was a rather fully developed female in the class. I remember an Anna Culver, I believe the name was, of the 1888 class and Helen Moorehouse of our class. Dr. Hall did not prove to be at Gilbertville if there is such a place. Have not heard from Dr. Medillan of Long Beach, Cal. as yet. Remember him because he was from Orangeville over here. Dr. Alexander of Castle Rock, Colo. has not had time to answer. W.O.A. LANGS 987 COLBORNE STREET BRANTFORD; ONT. Was pleased to know that Dr Fred. Peterson our /82 and /83 pathologist and Gro. E Brewer /84 rose to high positions in Columbia Univ., N.Y. Another graduate of /09, C. Gordon Heyd is a professor in Columbia graduate school. He was raised here in Brantford. I am two miles or so outside the city but have city delivery of mail. My object in writing was to see if there was a possibility of my being the last rose of summer as it were. Francis D. Comfort, president of our class died some years ago. He was my room mate in our first year. I attended N.Y. University in /85-6 and heard high arterial tension preached all winter, by [Loom??] something I could not remember having heard of in Buffalo. Also they had a man on children, one on orthopedic surgery, on on nose and throat, a much fuller faculty. The old chemist, a son of Droper of photographic fame died during the session and Witthams came on. The boys attended faithfully. Thank you. yours tl.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

I saw by the paper that the Aldrich meetings were canceled without giving any reason. I am sorry I did not hear him–I attend the Delaware Bap! Church very often as it is near my home. It does not make any difference. What Church dear does it? You remember Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s poem “So many Gods– So many creeds: So many paths That wind and wind When first the art of being kind. Is all this old world needs–” We all miss Dr Park. His death was a great loss to the City. Isnt this great war depressing? When we felt that civilization had really reached a higher plain and what is it all for? With so much sorrow and suffering. It seems [?] to think of a merry Christmas but for the children of the nation we should keep our hearts cheerful. Are you contented in your new home? And how is your son’s health? And tell me of your daughter. Dr. Earl’s babies are sweet. One firm and the other two Downer and Esther. My brothers son is nine years. Geroge Emmon Downer–a handful black eyed boy I have four grandchildren twin boys 9 yrs and a baby girl 5 an older boy 16. All beautiful children and the twins no one can tell them apart. Write again soon and [?] me ever the same. Regards to the family Louise D.

The little “Breeze” flew in with the tidings of a wedding anniversary. How I wish that I might have been there. I surely shall try and visit you this Summer. It is a shame that we never see one another. Perhaps I can persuade Dr. Earl to take me there some day with his car. I would be afraid to drive our Electric so far–fearing the electricity might not reach–but if you will come and visit me next summer I will take you around the Parks. I had a merry Christmas but have been so busy answering greetings that I have neglected any sewing and other duties. I gave a little party a week ago Saturday night. Everything passed off–pleasantly. I am associate mentor of the Physician's League Composed of all the women doctors. I am also a member off the Women’s Political Equality Club I am a housekeeper too. I love it. Do you have the magazine “Goodhousekeeping” I have taken it for a number of years and it is a treasure. I also have the [?] I [?] and the American and the Womens Home Companion. Isnt the war something terrible? Thank God our Country is at peace even if war prices are being asked for our staples. Do you have egg + butter of your own? Much love. Remember me to many.

Monday 10th My Dear Fanny; I suppose when you see my writing you will say–”I suppose she wants a girl.” but this time I want even more. My husband wishes me to ask you–if you know of any married men who would like a position of overseer on a two hundred acre farm. One who would be able to take charge of keep–so Mr Benzing could be relieved of the care. If he could get a man with one or two sons--he would have them too. His farm is situated a short distance from the city on a trolley line. I used to be a dairy farm but owing to poor leep] it is a now a grain farm but he may go into the dairy business again with a suitable man. He has two fairly good men now but the third one is not competent There are three houses in the place. I hope you are well] as also your family, what is your daughter doing? My sister and Iwere at Peterboro most of the Summer. I went into Canada and my husband on a fishing trip and he was with us in Peterboro for a time, but the farm kept him here in B. Should you know] of any one tell them to write to Mr. A. J. Benzing 27 Cleveland Ave B. for terms or I Thought Mr Ames might know of some good farmer.

Dec. 29 1900 My Dear Fanny:- I was so pleased to have the card–and to find you had not forgotten. I am sort of a “shut in” so I appreciate hearing from friends. My left knee has been troubling me for a month caused by a fall–so I did not get out to do any shopping. Mrs. Packwood helped me out and she and Dr. Earl were here for dinner as his wife and baby were in Canada. As his worker mula? was very ill. Earl is such a fine man–and his baby is so smart and how we all love him I hope to see your children sometime. I know they are nice. And Delia told me that Mr. Ames was too good to you all - so I know he is all right. My family [?] ready [?] but I am very fond of my two sons and their wives and my four grandchildren to say nothing of my brothers son George Emmon Downer–how is a handsome boy of four I saw Dr. Meedenbauer a few days ago. He is stout and looks happy. Dr. Pohloman died a few days ago. quite suddenly Dr. Delaney Rochester too has gone to pass]--forth physically + financially. How has had two shocks of paralysis and his oldest son 16 yrs has Epilepsy. I have heard that very bad blood was on the Delaney side. I am so sorry for them He was not like his father–not as suar–write whenever you can and come and see me– Much love-Louise https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/1abf95adabd314288d498b89d0caaa60.pdf 4e9fc01ffa4d24926c2d372c760ff946 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

She is just the same dear little woman + she often speaks of you mother sends love– kiss my little niece for me. How old is she now– Regards to yous husband your mother + father Peterboro Jan 2 1984 My Dear Girl: I think that you should have to remind me of my duty when I love you so much and think of you so often. There is no one outside of my own family who I would like to see as well. When I wrote you last I surley expected to visit you but I went to the fair and although the trip cost me nothing as regards railway fees still there were incidentalexpenses of clothing and so forth that made me feel poor. I am delightedl that you are back in Portville. Now I surely shall see you the Lord willing. Sometimes this coming summer I am so anxious about you–as you say you are not well Do you take any medicine? Don’t you believe it is your liver–I wish you would try “Chionia” I have had such good success with it you must be brave and have will power. You may remember the psalm which ends like this “Why even death itself stands still, and waits an hour some times for such a will” - Brace up my dear girl. better days will come. I wish I could tell you all I know of the fair. I will sometime. I was there only a week but I saw enough for 3 month it seems to me. I spent much time in the women’s building and was proud of my sex. was much interested in the fine display of drugs and in the transportation building saw the first train of cars ever used in N.Y. state the English coaches were curiosities to me. After I came from the fair I overworked + was sick for two weeks then Mother was taken with Grippe and does not feel just herself yet. My brother is still in Buffalo [?] slowly improving and a letter last night tells me that Earl has been sick for a week–with bronchitis–so you see I have had my share of worry–. https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/23209a1b677fac33d315fedad8a42322.pdf ad7e57e6eb2cd3602647b6550a76482a PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Peterboro June 3, 1893 My Dear Fanny:- I was so glad to hear from you–and to learn that you cared enough to write to me even though you had not heard.

My dear girl how I [?] with you in the loss of your baby–but let this comfort you the child will never have the discarregments that we have had.

I had a pleasant call from one of my class mates Dr. Manchester (do you remember him) a few days ago.
