LETTER XII—FROM JOHN HOWLAND, JR., ESQ.
New Beford, 9th month, 10th day, 1835.
Friend,—As I have lived nearly three years upon a vegetable diet, I cheerfully comply with thy request.
1. My bodily strength has been increased; and I can now endure much more exercise than formerly, without fatigue.
2. They are more agreeable; and I am now free from that dull, heavy feeling, which I used to experience after my meals.
