[Diary entry: 9 November 1768]

9. Reached home in about 7 Hours & an half. Found Doctr. Rum[ne]y & Miss Ram[sa]y here.

Patsy Custis probably had another attack of epilepsy about this date, because during Rumney’s visit he bled her and gave her another “vial of Drops” and two more musk capsules (receipt from William Rumney, 18 Feb. 1769, ViHi: Custis Papers).
