Took another dose of
Salts, which I hope will be the last I shall have occasion to take at this
time. Find myself pretty well. Free from pain, but very weak and much reduced.
My clothes hang about me like a skeleton. The Doctor has never come in my sight
since I struck him. Intend to go and pay the rascal to-morrow.

Went to see the
Doctor, who (contrary to my expectation) treated me with the greatest kindness
and acknowledged that he had given me just cause of complaint, though
inadvertantly, and absolutely refused being paid till I am quite recovered. I
understand their Doctors' Bills in this country are very extravagant. Returned
to Nanjemoy much fatigued.
