Laura Davis letters from friends and family, January-May 1942

1942-05-29 Susie Hutchison to Laura Frances Davis Page 1

May 29, 1930   1942
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Frances:
Aunt Bess has been at Excelsior Springs, Missouri,  for about 3 weeks now.  She went there with Mrs. Herbst and while there decided to take treatments - colonic irrigation, drink the spring water, etc.  She also had a rectal operation.  She had been out home previous to that and was in bad shape.  Had had, among other things, a red streak appear suddenly across her eyeball, stay all night & then gradually go away, leaving her sight dim.  Doc. there things it was her optic nerve - didn't say how affected.  But he is not an eye specialist.
I don't think her stay there has done her any good, and I think she is in pretty bad shape.  She thinks she should see an eye specialist and I reckon she should.
Do you know anything about the Clinics in Iowa City.  I suppose they have eye specialists.  How would anyone like Aunt Bess go
