November 7, 1739

1739 November 7 (Wednesday).  In the Morning My Fever was much Worse, and p.m. the Use of my Right Hand (which hitherto I have been favor’d with when every other Limb was disenabled) was taken away, but through Gods Mercy to me my Left grew better.  About 9 at Night my Stomach grew very full of pain.  I lay Striving for Breath all Night.  Mr. Whipple watch’d.
