a frame he would suggest - "just a bite
of anything" - but the morning looked  4
down on the mangled remains of more
than one pie, rashers of cold meat
removed from sight, with tea and cakes
unnamable. He came very late and
went with the dawn. He was a ranting
abolitionist and if not asleep in the
dim watches, he read with great zest
a Free Soil newspaper, that crackled
like the fires at Smithfield about the
martyrs upon the bed, ^who If he was so
unlucky as to raise an eye-lid he was
attacked with arguments most irrit...
in such cases, unanswerable - He is
dead[?] and must know not ^now, that he
did not even do as well as he could -
At last a bright fellow found him with the
charge of sleeping at his post, he having suffered
for ice as he vainly attempted to rouse him
at midnight - gradually he was unsought
as a nurse although it seemed as much of
a shock to the villagers ^Grove[?] as an expressed
doubt of the village doctor's sovereign

                                                 will[?].
