Letter from Rev. Robert Deans of Crailing, concerning his wife and himself, both of whom are suffering from throat complaints. Mrs Deans is still feverish. Mr Deans believes he contracted his sore throat from the 'bad air' exhaled by a man 'far gone in decay'. Weakness and the hoarseness of his voice now prevent him from preaching. | 12 July 1779 | |||
