I have taken a verry bad cold, head & breast verry much
affected, sore throat & aking in all my Joints, less or more.
The Weakness and debility of my whole body is but little
better Some days I am better & not so well again. I think
when this cold I have works off I may git better as there is
a verry considerable discharge from my head & breast. I spent
a verry unwell night last night I think from all I can learn
that the Comadore Colt that was so bad hurt on Friday the 10th
is no worse if he get well the old saying should be observed,
that is "While there is life there is hopes". William B. Wilson
has opisition for Clerk at the next March election. Wm Mack,

action of the Legislature now in Session in some measure
