[letter signed] The Observator. [includes] Again, should
he enjoy perfect health, if he, presuming on the firmness of
his constitution, should abuse it by debauchery and riotous
living, he will find, perhaps too late, that he is but a
man, and subject to all the infirmities of human nature, and

And scarcely a bed my bare bones to receive:
With solitude curst, and tormented with pain,
Distemper'd my body, distracted my brain;
. . . [6 more lines, signed] The Observator. Cranston,
June 1, 1779.
