Letter, from Wethers Waller to Gentlemen, February 2, 1819

My powders will all be
used to morrow evening; please furnish
me with a further supply. I think I am
gradually mending, my right ancle in
which I had violent pain some time since
has swoled very much the last two or three
days, which prevents me from walking.
I hope when the winter breaks I shall be
able [ride out]; as yet I have not
been down [there]

Soon after Dr. Brown left us we ap
-plied the blister which drew remarkably well
But I am sorry to inform you that our little
boy is worse. He appeared to grow worse last night
before supper. His fever rose, he breathed hard, and
complained of pain in his belly, or breast -He has
so continued ever since and I am now much
alarmed at his situation -You will please send
by the bearer such Medicine as you think necessary
& you will oblige

Letter, from Cary Selden to Doctor [?], November 2, 1819

Riding down here to see Mr. Wishart I found
him confined to his Bed. He express'd some desire to send
for you if he thought you would come, I observed that I
had no doubt but that you would ride out and see
him; and as he can not write himself, (at Mrs. Wisharts
desire) I have to request you would ride and see him
today if possible —

The case has been treated as the Rheumatism,— Her face
