I give you the trouble of this letter, on account of my
having frequent returns of the Rheumatism this
summer, I have had one very violent attack in my
head, and can seldom say I am perfectly free of it in
my right arm; I should think my self much indebted
to you, if you could recommend any thing which
might preserve me from suffering so severely in the
ensuing winter, as I can not help dreading that the
cold weather may be apt to encrease the pain which
I now have. -- I am happy to say that the strengthen¬
ing medicines which you sent me early in summer
were of the greatest use to me, as I now feel myself
as strong as usual. I am Sir your obliged
Etall House
September 18th.
[Page 2]
My Mother desires me to tell you that my sister
Augusta continues perfectly well, and has neither
cough nor pain in her side --
