1772 November 16 (Monday). My Daughter had a somewhat poor night by reason of her hacking Cough: but in the morning placid. About 10 a.m. our [sic] Cheek grew red. P.M. was the most feverish of any time yet. Drs. Pitcher and Perry here. She can’t be able to bear many Such Fits of Fever as this. She, however, did not so sink under this, as I feared. The women used an hot Bath to her Legs, which refreshed her. Mr. Thomas West here and prayed.
