Letter 2728

Fol. 294 Hond Sr Upminster 4 Aug. 1731 I recd safely the Meteorological Observations you consigned to me, I am drawing up my Remarks upon them. I have also by one Mr Robies in N. England wch are very curious, & joined with Astro- nomical & others also some of wch con- cur wth my Observations before I left off. I have heard yt Mr Hawkesbee by the Socie- ties order kept a Register of the Weather, &c. wch I shall be glad to have, to compare wth those from Petersburgh, Sweden, Northamptonshire, &c And now give one save to ask yr favr on another acct, the case of my Daugr, your Patient some time since in a Green-sickness. She hath from month or more been severely tormented wth a Pain in her stomach, wch comes about 2 in the morning, swells the right side, & is so pained outwardly yt she as well as inwardly, yt she cant bear the touching of it, yt is sometimes convulsed. Sometimes wth this is off, a great pain shall be in her right Eye, wch affects her Stomach. She hath the Ca pretty regular, but in 3 weeks, & no great quantity. The Flux is just over, & only a Shew, by catching cold in the less Hot weather, by sitting wthout her usual clothes: Yester- day she was feavourish, restless & headach, & for some time before that hath have under a perfect prostraction of Appetite, hath a foul tast in her mouth. Her Pain in her stomach makes her afraid of Malt drink; Milk, Fruit, & for this half year [?]. She formerly had an Erupti- on in her [?] like a Fetter, wch now returned. I desire the favr of your speedy opinion, & whether you judge the Bath may be serviceable to her, wch some of out female- Doctors have advised. I am wth greatest respect & affection Yours Wm Derham Having lately recd Sr Tho: Derehams Italian Translation of my Astro-Theology, I shall soon write to him, & if you have any commands I shall readily convey them.
