Transcription
Fol. 117 Last Sunday morning before day Mr Plowden had another fit: and another on Monday morning. Tuesday he was well; Wednesday morning had a fit again and none since that. Your favour of the 11th came not to me till yesterday the 14th. The child having miss’t the fit and being in a fine way of recovery, I presume if you were here, you would recall the order you have given for the Bark. On Sunday and Monday he bled pretty plentifully at nose. His Giddiness in quite gone. Till yesterday he has had a small inconsiderable headache, which would come and go off, but sometimes last about an hour. Of late he complains that the Electuary and julep go against his stomach and make him sickish. Pray tell me if he must take those remedies again. Last Saturday night he had another mishap in bed.
