In 1892 I had an attack of la grippe which assumed several phases, rheumatism, pneumonia, then blood poison. This, with an old trouble in my left leg contracted when a soldier in the war of the Rebellion, confined me to my bed for a long time under the care of our family physician. There was also a swelling under my right arm, and a breaking out over my body which was irritating and painful.

I think I never passed a year without sickness and a large doctor's bill from 1863 to 1892.

January 19, 1899
