Sir
I wrote you yesterday but after think¬
ing am inclined to belive I omitted to mention one par¬
ticular very material to be communicate, tho' tis possible
you will know of it before I communicate, however that
be the communicating can do no hurt, and its thus,
I have frequently very particularly observed that when
a severe pain has struck up into my head, the same pain
causes another to fly to the heart, which very often immedi¬
ately brings on a sick qualm, and has repeatedly been
the cause of my throwing up Bile, I think the pain
in my head varies its situation more than formerly
and unless I throw up Bile not so severe as sometime
ago-- I beg you'll excuse this trouble and beleive
one to be with the utmost respect
Dear Sir
Your much obliged
very humble Servant
