But what is to be done?It would be foolish to hope that a neuralgia which has endured more than two months, and which continues to torment me despite all the doctors&#039; efforts, will cease completely in three weeks!!!<br /> <br /> Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me!<br /> <br /> Yours ever,<br /> {{right|P.
