August 11, 1774
Dined with us two Gentlemen Names unknown
----They informed us that a Flux is in a
neighbouring County, of which many die!
----The Ague too is growing frequent Fanny
has a fit this afternoon----I begin to be
a little alarmed at the early approach
of these Disorders, which I fear will
be distressful here!----Through the
kindness of heaven I am yet in perfect
health----Mr. Carter & Mr. Stadley
performed both on the harmonica
I am charm'd with the Sounds! The
melody is swelling, grave & grand! The
weather vastly hot----
