From James Parker
ALS: American Philosophical Society
[New York October 30, 1769. Is recovering after six weeks from
the worst fit of gout he has ever had. Pain is gone, but he is so
weak he can scarcely stand; “so have only Patience and Flannel.” Has
heard nothing from Franklin, and nothing has happened in the Post
Office since he last wrote.]
