notable phrase
the yellow fever or the doctors or both together have killed poor Lewis, you messenger
I have found that living alone in a small room in a tavern with the prospect of a crooked river running through a marsh, and accompanied alternately with some dull job of business or conversation respecting the distresses of a great city is far from being in a state of perfect happiness
