rowing Vessels which I can man out of these future
Sailors. My Shipbuilding and almost every thing else that
depended on me has stood still for near these 6 weeks.
I have been very ill during that time and though I now
am far out of all danger I am still obliged to keep
my room. I had first a cold & slight fever, then
a pain in my right side which (as I had many simptoms
which made me believe my blood was in a bad state)
induced me to be blooded. my blood thicker & blacker than
ever I saw blood before. I let run two soop plates full
and then as I was near fainting the Surgeon stopt it.
Since that my side swelled as if I had strained myself
but the acute pain went away. I have been taking
medicine to purify my blood and at the same time I keep
a strict diet.
