Yours of the 11th instant came to
hand yesterday & I believe it will answer much better
that you have delayed till further Information.
For now the feverish Symptoms & Cough are
entirely gone, & seem to have been only the effect
of Cold which you know may be easily catched
even in a warm room after sweating. The weakness
occasioned by her illness in Aprile is much abated, so
that she is able now to go out sometimes to the Garden
& sometimes in a wheel machine, ¹ tho it was with great
reluctance she attempted this having found little success
by riding last summer. As for Opiates she has used
none of them in her present Illness. She took about 15 drops
of Lodanum ↑every night↑ in her first trouble under her Lowness of Spirits
& want of rest, but without any sensible Effect.

1
As to the questions you propose. The Pulse seems
to be much the same at all times in the day, except
qn the faintings come on (none of qh she has had for
three weeks past & {illeg} of them this winter, at present
beats about 82 in a minute

2
Since Aprile last & always since her trouble begun
she has been liable to chillness & {illeg} shivering
This chillness is always succeeded by a warm fit, & some¬
times preceeded by it.

3
When she does not sleepshe sweats a little in
the forepart of the night, or rather is hot,but since
shes begun to go abroad s≠weats none in the morning.

4
The pain in her side is not more fixed than before
but continues to move about & often in her back lately.
Is sometimes like a weight in the side of her belly &
then she finds difficulty in passing Urine which she
passes more easily & plentifully after belching of wind

5
Her Tongue at present is moist but a little whitish
and has been in this ↑way↑ all last winter

6
Her Eyes are at present ↑being in the afternoon↑ Clear without any Redness on the
white of em, but in the morning the Eye lids stick
together.

7
The Chough was attended with very little spitting up
& was commonly owing to cold, qh last time went off
by some running in her head & a little blood from
her nose. She found very little Effect from the
Vomits given her in the beginning of her trouble but
found the wind in her Stomach as uneasy the day
after using em, Tho Blisters have been often applied
to her back & one to her head wt advantage, they
were never applied to her side because the pains
seems mostly to be internal. She took two small
doses of the bark about a Scruple each every day for
about six days from which she found no Effects.
She has used no musk & little Camphire in some pills wt
opium & assafœtida in the beginning of her disorder
The state of her pulse cannot be exactly determined
at the different times you mention particularly after
dinner & towards Evening, because no Physician has
lately seen her at all those different times, but no
Hecktic or very feverish Symptoms presently appear
nor had she ever any Cough or disorder in
her Lungs from which Tubercles might be suspected
but as we observed before she complains sometimes
of a heat & chillness alternately &a little inclinable
to sweating. She is always so apprehensive of
cold that we can scarce prevail wt her to go ever
in this hot weather out of a warm room &
every Night baths her Legs in warm water
which [I am?] affraid relaxes the Nerves but this I
