Adelia Patten Reports on Her Examinations by Dr. Jackson

We passed examination a day or two ago. As my turn came he set me a chair and said “My dear you are sick, aren't you?” 6MR 347.3

Brother White gave him a little sketch of our graham life during the past summer and of what my cares and labors had been. He said that I had evidently overworked that I must make a decided change, and take a rest or it would tell seriously by and by. He gave advice etc. And said when I got thoroughly initialed to their style of living, if I took proper exercise and rest I would enjoy better health than ever before. I have their system, about one half of it practically learned.—Adelia Patten to Sister Lockwood, September 15, 1864. 6MR 347.4
