| 6980 | Letter From An Old Settler The following letter from M.P.M. Cassity, an old and well known settler of Wetmore, was published in the Wetmore Spectator last week. His numerous friends in this county will sympathize with him and his sore affliction. Plattesburg, Mo, May 13. As I promised to let you hear from me will say that I am about the same as when I left Wetmore. I came her to my sister’s April 26th, after consultation and examination by Drs. Murdock, Morton and McDonald, at Oneida and St. Joseph. They advise me not to have an operation. Said they could perform the operation but there would be great danger in so doing. I was advised by Dr. Murdock, if went to Kansas City to go and see Drs. Minor & Thornton. I have written them and expect reply soon, and if they give me encouragement will go there. If I had plenty of money think I would have an operation and take chances. I feel very thankful to the friends who have assisted me in my great affliction. If I find that my ailment is incurable (which I fear at times at least is true) and I could be cared for there, would rather die at home than elsewhere. I am not afraid to death but dread the pain and suffering prior thereto. Dr. Morton of St. Joe said I should not look at my ailment in that way, that I might outlive him and that I could with local treatment at home or elsewhere be made to feel comfortable. I have to write lying down and am getting weary. I will try and keep you and all who feel interested in my welfare informed. Tell friends to write me here. M.P.M. Cassity.
