Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From John Pintard to His Daughter, Eliza Noel Pintard Davidson, Vol. 2 of 4: 1816-1833; 1821-1827 It is many years, with the highest sense of gratitude to God for the mercy, since my having being [sic] restricted by indisposition to the house, as long since as when I informed you that I suffered with a smart attack of Fever for 3 days, I think in the spring of 1810. We have been smothered almost with a dense vaporing atmosphere on the return of milder weather and I have added one cold to another in succession, which by going to the Savings Bank on Sat evening it was increased to a violent catarrh. Sunday was another wet day, when prudence would have dictated my staying home, but it was Sacrament Sunday, & tho Mama & Sister could not go I thought it proper to attend. I remained home afterwards, but at night had a smart Fever, which with my cold so stupified me yest that I c´d do little more than discharge the duties of my office, & as before remarked continued within doors, all day. The weather cleared off yesterday & has blown the humid clouds to the western isles & with them the seeds of my malady. If not perfectly as clear, I feel this morn´g almost as elastic as the genial westerly winds that wafted to sea yest a large fleet of vessels that had been a long time laiden & waiting for any opportunity to sail. Thur´y 8th... I hardly know how to communicate the following unpleasant rumor respecting a fallen Divine of eminent repute in the Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Mr. Stansbury of Albany, a most eloquent preacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
