Daily Dose

From The Letters of Samuel Johnson, Volume II, 1773 - 1776, edited by Bruce Redford

ILL HEALTH

"You and I have had ill health, yet in many respects we bear time better than most of our friends. I sincerely wish that you may continue to bear it with as little diminution as is possible either of body or mind, and I think, you return the wish to Dear Sir, Your most humble servant,

Sam Johnson"

From a letter to John Taylor, 22 December 1774
