Summary
Regarding medical treatment for his toe: "I have been trying to persuade my toe that spermaceti ointment was the best application, but he seems indignant at the idea, & was inflamed this morning, & is more painful than it has been for a day or two. I shall wish you to see it, as it talks very much of refusing to bear me upon Friday to the K[ing]'s levee."
