Grangeville Idaho
Dear Sir
Will you please send me some more medicine for my mouth, just exactly
like the first medicine you sent me (Tannin & glycerine I think without any acid and
it did not color the linen cloth like this last) This last medicine you sent is too strong
perhaps. It or something is causing suppuration in the gland in that little natural
protuberance (natural – a gland or follicle isnt it?) on the side of the tongue back
near the root & I do not like that. And this medicine smarts my mouth. The tannic was
healing. Please send me some of the very same medicine you first sent me. And please send
it to me by stage, at the very earliest moment possible – And please send bill for
what I owe you and I will send money at once.
Troublesomely yours

some medicine for my mouth. Please send me the medicine I asked for which I asked
sent lately. The same as I had before. The number of the medicine I had on the label is
20,299. Perhaps I did not write it plainly before. The medicine you sent me instead

these ulcers to suppurating. The medicine No 20,299 was soothing – Please send me
some more just exactly like it, i.e. that label numbered 20299. And please sir, will you
not send it to me by return stage after the very first stage after you receive this. I

is white the tannic acid dark. If you do not remember I can send you a little as a sample
but I am very nearly out, and cannot do without it. Please send it to me the very soonest
possible. I do not know the cost or I would send the money now. Please send me the bill
with the medicine & I will (D.V.) send the money at once.
