Lincoln's Inn Friday 28 Jan.y 1774. My dear Sam
Your silence had begun to be a matter of some
surprize to me; and is then of much more concern, since
I have heard the cause of it — You frighten me with your
Catalogue of disorders — From what you tell me of the
ill health of the family, it looks as if they were owing
to the place — If so, you had better leave it for a
while, w/e the cause whatever it be is dessipated, and
come back again to your old quarters — Putrid sore throats,
by the bye, if that has been one of the complaints the
family have had as well as yourself, are contagious —
What advice have you? If you do not mend, let me
know, that I may come done to you. Whatever
you do, lie in bed as little as possible — Your habit
of body is naturally relaxed: and lying in bed, which is
sufficient to weaken persons in health and strength to a
great degree, must love that in a much great
degree upon persons already weakend by a disorder.
If you cannot support yourself in a common chair, the
best thing is an easy chair, if it can be got enclosed
on all sides with a cushion at bottom, such as in where if you
remember as my Grand mother Bentham used to have
in her Bedchamber
