My Dear "Friend"

My eldest daughter Francis Slaughter
is in a very alarming situation after having had
seven very severe fits she is entirely out of her senses
and has slept none for two nights yesterday about
three oclock she was taken much worse and not
knowing what to do with her I shall take it a great
favour if you will come and see her this evening
if possible if you cannot come [to day] please send
something to compose her and come tomorrow if possible
with sincere Regard

Lucy Alexander
