my Stomach as formerly, and I do not feel so much
sensation of fullness after meals, as formerly ––– My

weak, but find they are in a slow way of recruite -- I Eat such
victuals as I know from Experiance to be of easy Digestion &
I drink White Port or water to [{illeg}?] at Meals, when I'm
Thirsty I allways drink Tenriff wine & water, as I find it sitt
easy on my stomach, --- I use a good deal of Exercise, and
Particularly Riding on Horse Back, I find Riding on Horseback
or in a Carriage, strengthens me the most of any Exercise -- I
very seldom feel palpatations of my Heart, and my spirits
is more Alert than formerly, when I'm in Moderate

Perspiration I feel my self the easiest --- I'm Faintish in Hot
