Tuesday morning, 27th August 1844
My Dear Sir,
I duly received your kind note of yesterday. As to my health, besides the attack of fever and ague under which I left Earl Street on Tuesday last, I had two others on the two following days & the worst was on Friday. On Saturday, Sunday & yesterday I kept watching from hour to hour, remaining in the house, and using medicines, and happily escaped a repetition, and have hopes that I shall not be attacked again at the present time. I still trust to be able to meet the engagements we spoke of in Kent which commence on the 9th of Sept. I shall be glad to receive from you as early as you conveniently can the note of all the meetings in the two counties of which we treated.
I am glad to hear that Mr Brandram is to be in town early on Saturday, and shall make a point of being in Earl Street at the time you notice on that day. Tomorrow, if well, I shall most probably be in Earl Street.
Please send up your porter to take down a parcel which I have for you from the American Bible Society.
Believe me, My dear Sir,
Very Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
