Abstract:
News that Nancy has been ill in the South with the Asiatic Cholera, also called the bloody flux, describing the disease's symptoms, treatment, and spread in the community, including among enslaved people on plantations. "One wealthy planter has a hundred sick servants every one upon the plantation except Arthur Whittle have had the disease…" Anxiety about her health and religious reflections. "Doct Farrar thinks she may be better, and that her throat may not trouble her as much after this; but you know her constitution is already thread bare; and how little confidence I have in what Physicians say."
