Such was the disorderd state of my head at the time I last wrote You, that I had scarcely the power of accomplishing the few lines I did—the loss of blood and some medicine since seems to have greatly relieved me of the distressing giddiness, but not so much the pain in my head, which is now accompanied with a weakness and inflamation in my eyes—these complaints I had serious apprehensions...
