This evening I renewed the medicine, which I had supposed did me good the day before—the tobacco steeped in rum; only I did not take so much as before, nor did I chew any of the leaf, or hold my head over the smoke; however, I was not so well the next day, which was the first of July, as I hoped I should have been; for I had a little spice of the cold fit, but it was not much.
Elhagytam a dohánylevél rágását, és a dohányfüst légzését, csak a rumból ittam, amelybe dohánylevelet áztattam, de most ebből is kisebb adaggal próbálkoztam. Másnap, július 1-jén nem voltam annyira jól, mint amire számítottam volna, volt egy kis hidegrázásom, de semmi komoly.
