Transcript	[Page 1] Chippewa P.O. Delaware May 6. 1855 My dear friend , I have been today visited with another severe attack of sickness; and if not too inconvenient with you to say to Mrs. Carter that I cannot have here, till I am favoured with a return of health. Let her not expect me till I write to you again . This sickness which I fear proceeds from a disease of the heart has caused me pain & disappointment and much because. It postpones to an uncertain day the period of pleasure I had anticipated in meeting you & other dear friends in Washington . Ever faithfully yours John M. Clayton Nathan Sargent Esq . Washington
