Agreeable to Your Directions, Mr Hamilton put a Blister on
my head Saturday last, On Sunday Morning drest it And put on the
blister Again, I found no UnEasyness from it Neither on Saturday Night
or Monday (↑Sunday↑) Night, but on Monday Night did Not Sleep one Minute
keept it Still on Tuesday all day till about 8 or 9 at Night it was
Very Uneasy, And was Certain. I would Sleep None that Night, Wanting
Sleep two Nights Sucessively I thought would be hard on me who am
Now far Advancd in Years, I Sent for Mr Hamilton who took off the
Blister And he put on Something Els which he Said would Give me
No Uneasyness, but there was Still So much of the Effects of the Blister
left that I had no Sleep that Night, this was 2 nights together And
on the Wednesday Night I Sleept None till about 6 in the Morning when
I fell into a Slumber about An hour, but was No way refresh'd by it
So that I have all this Week been much out of Order, which I am
apt to think is for want of Rest. The Disorder in my head Still
Continues As I wrote You in my last, if there is Any thing Els Can
be done to Remove it be So Good As Write Mr Hamilton, I am Not
Confin'd to my bed nor do I think I am feverish, but feel my Self very
Weak, Please Advise me if this Comes to Your hand, And if You Think
Rideing would do me Any Service I am
Sir
Your Most humble Servant
I am Rather better as to the Pyles
