Friday, September 22nd 1854 ~ London


Last evening I was taken with an attack of cholera, which began by cold, shivering and colic pains. A physician was called in who by heating drinks and heat applied to the feet, threw me into a high fever, which lasted all night. Today I am better, but not of course out of bed. The Dr. called again this morning. Lizzie makes a fine nurse. This is the first time her abilities have been tested on my behalf.
