1774 August 6 (Saturday). Went to Lt. Bakers in the morning. Dr. Charles Russell, Dr. Flynt, Dr. Hawes, and a Number of Doctors besides being there on the Case of the poor Boy, Calvin Piper — (who last Evening began to recover his senses and to Speak — and is this morning composed and utters himself pertinently). It was feared the Trepan must be used: but it was first determined to take off part of his scalp and examine his Head. We began with prayer. Dr. Russel performed the Operation, and finding the grumous Blood, and that there was no Fracture, desisted from any thing further.
