Exhausted after eye exam??
I went to an opthamologist (an M.D. who specializes in diseases of the eye) today for a thorough exam of my eyes to check for the source of my night vision problems. Fortunately, he gave my eyes an "excellent" bill of health with no sign of any type of problem whatsoever. He believes it is just my age (50+) and the common emergence of this problem around my age. I'll go back for another thorough exam of my peripheral vision when my eyes aren't dilated, now that he has determined that there are no pathological causes.
The exam included two different eye drops -- the first one was an anesthetic to numb my eyes to let the machine get very close to them, and the second drops were to dilate the pupils.
I had to drive home (about 20 miles) very carefully with slightly blurred vision (even while wearing my prescription corrective sunglasses). After I got home, I lied down to relax and fell into such a deep sleep that Hubby had trouble waking me up for dinner! Since then, I feel almost drugged with fatigue.
Is this a typical reaction from this type of eye exam? I'm not concerned, just curious.
Hi Jen,
The times that I get my eyes dilated, and have to drive home, my whole body is tense (because of the the sensitivity to light). Maybe it was the stress from the exam, and definitely from the drive home?
Maybe you just relaxed enough afterwards to catch up on the needed sleep?
Everyone is different though. My system is so sensitive, that there have been times in the past that those dilating drops would give me a panic attack. Go figure!
I just had the same sort of eye exam you did in July and had a similar reaction.(I lay down and slept for several hours - unusual for me). But what worried me the most was that my eyes seemed to be slow to un-dilate. I expected to have normal vision back by evening, as my exam was at 9 a.m. However, it was the middle of the next day before my vision was not blurry.
LOL, well it sounds like it is a typical reaction due to one thing or another (being stressed out, or a reaction to the drops).
The drops to dilate my pupils were added in the afternoon and my pupils were still very dilated at 10:00 last night. This morning they were back to normal (and so was I).
My husband and I had eye exams this past weekend. It took 2 hours to complete. He had his eyes dilated, I did not. They messed up on one of my exams and wanted to do it over. I told them I was too exhausted to re-test, and would come back another time. My husband has to have a re-test also. 2 hours seemed extreme and exhausting.
Ask your doctor...I think there are some drops which can reverse the dilation.
On a recent exam including dilated eyes I had to drive home into the sun, and it was just horrible. I complained next time I went in,and they but in some kind of reverse drops. That helped.
Well, I'm glad ALL of you are getting eye exams. Yup, I get them and they are all sorts of exams, the eye chart, with and without glasses/contacts. The field of vision, and clicking the button all over the place, the numbing drops, that AWFUL bright light looking into the corners and following commands "look up and to the right, straight up, down and to the left", etc, etc. It is tiring, to be sure.
BUT, let me tell you, as one gal who watched her late great-grandmother, late grandmother, go slowly blind in their elderly years from glaucoma, and whose own mother now takes a plethora of eyedrops for the same condition, you bet I was at the opthamologist every year!!!!! Knowing I'd be next, if history repeats itself!!!!
So, age 50 was the diagnosis time for me. My pressures were fine (Intra-ocular pressure is the measurement for glaucoma) until I hit the big 50, and when they ticked over the upper range of normal, onto a daily drop I went!!! I did my due diligence to catch it early, I faithfully put in one drop at bedtime, and I hope to live long, well, and sighted!
I'm pleased to hear so many of you get tested, since you can't feel glaucoma, until you lose your peripheral vision, and will wreck all 4 corners of your car first, and will trip over curbs you can't see.
Cheerful1, don't forget to back and repeat the testing!!! Keep those peepers peeping!!!!
Look at it this way...enjoy the POWER naps!!!!!
I work for an eye doctor. Some dilating drops wear off very fast in just a couple of hours and some last 12 hours or more. Which kind you get depends on a number of factors. I believe reversing drops are off the market.
Some patients do have blurry distance vision from having their eyes dilated, I know I do. Since you know you do, bring a driver with you next time.
The amazing thing was, 3 years ago, my husband was at risk for macular degeneration. We have been taking 20 mg of lutein daily since then. His (and my) eyes now have plenty of pigment - no risk right now.
My retest has to do with a possible problem with my peripheral vision on my left side. My husband's retest has to do with pressure behind his eyes.
Jen, I too night vision problems with traffic lights on oncoming vehicles look as if they were firework type sparklers. Since DH is no longer able to drive I would panic if held up by his any of his Doctors, tests., etc.
Discussing it with my opthamologist last visit, he recommended I have a special coating added to my new glasses...don't know the name of it but what a difference it made! Cost about $80. - best $$$ I've spent in years.

Bullpup! MSAR Stg-556 or E4. Most Stgs take AUG mags, E4 takes AR mags. If you have some extra money check out the Tavor TAR or AUG-A3.
Why not go AK74?
If you trade caliber to 5.45, you're all set.
The 5.45was made to emulate the 5.56, anyway.
"For every problem there is always a solution that is simple, obvious, and wrong." - Mark Twain
Sorry, must have missed that part about under $1000.
I agree Java. I guess with the MSAR being ~$1800, the Tavor ~$2000, and the AUG north of $2000 that wouldn't be considered a budget buy.
If it didn't have to be a semi-auto, a Mossberg MVP would be pretty cool. Bolt action, takes AR mags.
See what you can get an Arsenal SLR-106FR for in your area and online. The ones I've seen run about 1K.
The Arsenal has a folding stock, a rail for a scope mount, and it uses 5.56MM.
Magazines are more difficult to obtain.
The 5.45MM AK has more going for it in terms of magazine and ammunition availability/affordability.
AR alternatives tend to be pretty expensive and heavy. Any particular reason why an AR will not do, or do you just want it to be different?
I would not get a bullpup of any sort, but that's just me.
Good idea Kbd, a 5.56 AK. Now I want one!

Have you seen this? Activist Mark Dice circulating a petition for "mandatory euthanasia" for senior citizens:
That someone could so easily acquire signatures endorsing such an evil practice from an oblivious public is a very sad commentary on the state of our nation - both morally and intellectually.
It is also proof-positive that the nation is rapidly approaching its final days, for when a people have lost their respect for human life, the end is not long in following.
Here is Anton Chaitkin, speaking on The Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obama Care":
The New Push In America Toward Euthanasia
Massachusetts rejected New Jersey accepted fortunately Christie will veto it but the push towards euthanasia is national and the citizens of the US need to wake up and be aware. The sanctity of life is now being challenged at the the end of life instead of the beginning. Obamacare due to its cost is pushing this legislation due to the simple fact of cost. After holding up the nation all of your life once you are out of the work force and in need of extended care the state has determined you are not worth the cost. We are becoming a brutal nation.

The Black and White of Euthanasia
in Christianity
Today, we live in a society where human life has been devalued and held hostage to the underlying theme of Me...Me...Me. I come first--I choose who lives or dies, in essence, I am god. If I don't want this child to be born, it will not be born. If I don't want to suffer, I will choose to die. This rebellion against God is responsible for the actions taken by so many against life today.
But the Bible teaches that God is the only one who has power over life or death; no one is born with the right to die. No human has the authority to say, "I choose to die."
Tonight, Walter Martin, the Original Bible Answer Man examines the growing problem of Euthanasia.

Beyond the Airwaves Episode #103 -- Euthanasia: Whose Decision Should It Be?
This is Beyond the Airwaves: The Infinity Project, where we go beyond the mainstream media and tackle issues that don't seem so important to the major networks.
29-year-old Brittany Maynard had stage four brain cancer and knew she had only months to live. Going to Oregon with its Death by Dignity Law, she made a decision to end her own life, which ignited the right-to-die debate. She officially ended her life on November 1st as the pain became too great for her. The big question that does come to mind: When someone is facing terminal illness and knows he/she doesn't have long to live, should he/she have the right to choose to die by suicide, like when Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisted those who wanted to die back in the 1990s. We'll talk about this very sensitive issue for the whole hour.

Nosso Lar in Our Home - Inheritance and Euthanasia
in Spirituality
Nosso Lar (Portuguese for "Our Home") is the name of the spirit colony that Andre Luiz describes in this first book of his collection. In this vibrant narrative, the author offers us his observations and discoveries regarding life in the spirit world, acting as a sort of reporter who records his own experiences. It reveals a pulsating world full of life and activity organized in exemplary fashion, and where discarnate spirits go through steps of recovery and spiritual education supervised by high order spirits. Nosso Lar enables us to see beforehand the spirit world that awaits us when we abandon the corporeal body through physical death."

How can I tell if my son is meeting his milestones?
Started by mysonsmum , Jan 04 2013 04:21 PM
5 replies to this topic
Posted 04 January 2013 - 04:21 PM
I have an almost 1 year old who is very small for his age at almost 8kgs. His height is in proportion to his weight, he's not skinny he's just a little guy like his mum & dad. Whenever I go to the dr they just say that's fine so long as he's meeting all his milestones which has never been a problem but now he is turning 1 he doesn't crawl (he shimmys around on his belly abit don't know if that counts) or attempt to pull himself up on any furniture, I have noticed all the other babies his age I know (there is a big group of them from various mothers groups ect) are very confidently crawling, pulling them selves up, walking around furniture & even standing on there own so now I'm worried that maybe he isn't meeting his milestones? I know all children develop very differently & I know with him being so small he won't be as strong but is there an age where if your child cannot crawl or pull themselves up you should seek advice?
Posted 04 January 2013 - 04:28 PM
WHo have delelopmental achievement graphs
FWIW my kids did not walk until 16.5, 17.5 and 19.5m of age.
To work on the pulling to stand do you have a play table that they like to stand at. My kids also started the pull to stand from a lower plane (ie we had a sofa which could flip out, but actually just pulled it out and they could use it as a step and smaller item to get themselves to stand). DS 1 was 3% boy so tiny too. He is now 7yrs and very smart, but still tiny.

My DD took longer to hit her milestones. She's now 16 months, has only been walking for 3 weeks and has just started counting "1, 2, 3" and her vocabulary has doubled in 2 weeks!!
But if you're concerned, go with your instincts.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 04:33 PM
Do you have an MCN where you are? I've found them excellent for helping assess what milestones are relevant for age.
My GP has also been excellent - although this may be because she has an interest in pediatrics.
Without wanting to worry you, I would be seeking advice now on your DS. I think the lack of crawling, pulling to stand etc is something worth discussing with a professional. If its all in order there's no harm done, however if there are indications of potential delays early intervention can work wonders.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 04:39 PM
See if you can get into a paed physio, as well.
I don't want to be alarmist and it's likely to be nothing, but my DS has a chromosomal abnormality which was only picked up due to poor weight gain. His developmental delays are more obvious now as he is 19 months, but in those earlier days it was not so clear.
Whats the harm in getting him seen?
Posted 04 January 2013 - 06:35 PM
What was his early developmental milestones like? When was he able to sit unsupported?
May be useful to see a physio, he may have low tone, or just need some extra help, always best to check it out. Your gp may have answers and some advice as well.
DS didn't start crawling until he hit 12months, not long after crawling he started pulling himself up on furniture, but then didn't walk until he was almost 2.
I know how hard it can be not to compare to other babies in mothers groups etc... I remember other babies, all crawling around, some pulling up on furniture, and DS couldn't even sit, he was still rolling around on the floor.

Ebony and Ivy: The Secret History of How Slavery Helped Build America's Elite Colleges
We spend the hour with the author of a new book, 10 years in the making, that examines how many major U.S. universities — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Rutgers, Williams and the University of North Carolina, among others — are drenched in the sweat, and sometimes the blood, of Africans brought to the United States as slaves. In "Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America's Universities," Massachusetts Institute of Technology American history professor Craig Steven Wilder reveals how the slave economy and higher education grew up together. "When you think about the colonial world, until the American Revolution, there is only one college in the South, William & Mary ... The other eight colleges were all Northern schools, and they're actually located in key sites, for the most part, of the merchant economy where the slave traders had come to power and rose as the financial and intellectual backers of new culture of the colonies," Wilder says.
Filmmaker Uncovers Her Family's Shocking Slave-Trading History, Urges Americans to Explore Own Roots
As we continue our conversation on slavery, we are joined by a woman who uncovered that her ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Katrina Browne documented her roots in the film, "Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North," which revealed how her family, based in Rhode Island, was once the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. After the film aired on PBS in 2008, Browne went on to found the Tracing Center on Histories and Legacies of Slavery. We speak to Browne and Craig Steven Wilder, author of the new book, "Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America's Universities."

Troops deployed as Hurricane Isaac targets New OrleansQuicklink submitted by Sheila Samples Permalink
Become a Fan
(39 fans)
|Isaac's storm surge could pose a major test of New Orleans' new flood control systems and reinforced levees. Forecasts from the U.S. National Hurricane Center showed the storm coming ashore in the Mississippi Delta late on Tuesday, possibly taking direct aim at the so-called Crescent City. Hundreds of U.S. Army National Guard troops took up strategic positions around New Orleans. Brandishing automatic assault rifles to ward off any threat of looting, the troops in military vehicles took up positions on mostly deserted streets.

does neg. edge pool require two pumps?
Still working on the rebuild of our neg. edge pool. PB had called in another crew to do the rebuild. They said there need to be two pumps, one for the gutter pool and one for the reg. pool. PB said only need one pump. Have read all your advice on one vs. two filtration systems, but what about one vs. two pumps? Main Pool is 16x36 and from 3-6' deep and gutter pool is 3x36 and 3' deep. Plumbing lines are 2" and are about 70' from the pumps at the far end.
thank you for your continued support!
Looking for the water to just spill over the wall. Do not need a "gushing waterfall". New crew foreman said a single 2HP variable speed pump will do the job, but he always has used two pumps. PB (who has hired new foreman)insists one pump is fine. PB is giving us a rough time on just about everything at this point. May have to add the other pump on my own, and just get his guys to plumb for it. What size do you suggest for the gutter? It is 3' wide x 3' deep by 36'long.
Thanks for your input.
The flow for the wall will vary with bather load. Having a variable speed will allow you to run more efficiently regardless.
If you do put a second pump in, I suggest adding a filter too. Catch basins catch a lot of the debris from the pool. With a dual pump system, without the 2nd filter, it will just get shot back into the pool.
Please remember, there are builders here that have built these pools and that I am not a builder. I just fix and augment existing pools. Some will disagree with me and say one system is enough. What your needs are may differ from what I consider ideal.
What is the PB's line of reasoning for a single pump system?
Scott is correct. There are several ways to plumb these pools. I have usually used a single pump system. As Scott indicated, it depends on the look you want on the backside of the dam wall and the length of the wall.
I treat the basin as a big skimmer and pump everything thru the filter. A well built wall will only require 1-3 gpm/ft of wall to look good. Variable speed pumps work very well for these pool applications.
It's also a good idea to run the pump while the pool is being used so the kids don't splash out so much water that the basin is overflowing.
2 pump system: One pump filters the pool water just like a normal pool. The second pump draws unfiltered water from the basin and puts it in the pool. The second pump should be running while the pool is in use(splash out reason I described above). It will also need to be run each day because the automatic water fill is placed in the basin.
IMO the one pump system filters all the water all the time and I find it more efficient.
Having a hand held or other electronic control is really handy for this application when you want to turn the pump on without having to go out to the equipment area each time.
Biggest factor to good operation is sizing the basin correctly. Better to big than too small. You might ask your PB how he calculated the basin size. He should be able to tell you how much water will be in the basin with the pump running and about how much freeboard area they are allowing for. Good luck.

Besides being simple mementos family photographs can offer insights into the past. This unit looks at some of the ways photographs can reveal, and sometimes conceal, important information about the past. It teaches the skills and provides some of the knowledge needed to interpret such pictorial sources.
After studying this unit you should:
- be aware that photographs are shaped by a set of conventions based on ideas and practices which are not immediately apparent;
- be aware that photographs, like other documentary records, are partial and biased;
- be aware that photographs, like other documentary records, require critical analysis and careful interpretation;
- be aware of the importance of contextualisation in analysing photographs.

A173_1: Picturing the family
Most of us today take photographs for our family albums. The lucky ones among us have also inherited family photographs from the past. These photographs provide another type of record that can offer insights into our family history. But what can they tell us? How can we elicit the information they hold? And how do we analyse or evaluate that information? The purpose of this unit is to suggest how to approach the interpretation of the photographic record.
Please keep referring to your own family photographs as you work through the unit. This will help you assimilate the information and assist in the analysis of your own photographs.
Don't assume that once you have studied a photograph, you will have garnered all the information there is to be found. I am constantly surprised at how much I fail to see when I look at photographs. I have given talks using the same images to different audiences. Frequently somebody seeing an image for the first time will point out details I had not previously registered.
In addition, of course, an insight you discover about an image in your collection may have repercussions for others. So the process is one of continuous reading and reappraisal. Bits of the jigsaw gradually fall into place.
This unit looks at some of the ways photographs can reveal, and sometimes conceal, important information about the past. It will teach the skills and provides some of the knowledge needed to interpret such pictorial sources.

Paris Private Arrival Transfer: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY)
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Paris Private Arrival Transfer: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY). What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
As a nervous traveller, I researched the many ways of traveling from Paris and finally opted with aviator! Jose, my phone representative, was stateside however was able to help me narrow down other options for us to do in Paris in a way that I could understand!
We arrived in Paris and was late but I wasn't worried! Sure enough as soon as we got through customs, there was our driver with a sign clearly visible and waiting! He took our bags, loaded us up and got us to our hotel within the hour while everyone else was still trying to hop the shuttles and trains at the airport!
Though the private transfer was a little expensive, the worry free travel of getting to and from made it worth every penny! I will forever use their service whenever I travel! Thank you for,starting and ending my trip on a perfect note!
The driver was waiting for us as we arrived. He was very pleasant and pointed out many sites on the way to our hotel. Our arrival was without stress thanks to this service.
Driver was on time, professional. We will use your company again.
Outstanding service
There on our arrival, well turned out driver, 'green and clean' vehicle, good driving.
My flight was delayed twice and Paris Shuttle very kindly accommodated what were extensive delays (due to the airline). I kept them informed by telephone at every opportunity and they were great. They picked me up from CDG six hours later than first booked and took me straight to my hotel. Would recommend this company. Thank you.
We will never arrive or leave Paris any other way!!! Our driver was prompt, professionally attired, pleasant and knowledgeable. He was waiting for us when we arrived and steered us through the heavy traffic pointing out landmarks and various sights as we headed into the city. This was our 6th trip to Paris and we have never had such a smooth arrival and departure!!
Great - no problems
Perfect timing and very professional!
It was only a pick up at CDG airport. But it worked ell, the drive was on time and helpful.
Would highly recommend.
The driver was waiting in the arrivals hall and the ride to our hotel was very smooth with minimum disruption.
Best of all was the direct route to the hotel without having to go to several other hotels as you do when using a shuttle bus.
Worth the extra cost.
great service
Excellent! They were waiting our arrival and took us directly to our hotel!
Driver was at the arrival area holding up passenger name clearly and we did not have to look around for him compared to previous experiences with other airport transfer in other countries.
Our driver was easy to find at the airport and had a clearly visible sign with our names on it. He was friendly and helpful, pointing out sights during the drive. When our hotel was unreachable by road due to construction, our driver left his vehicle and carried our luggage on foot despite our assurances that this wasn't necessary. We took a taxi for the return trip to the airport at the end of our stay and regretted not having booked this return trip through Viator as well.

William Smallwood. Letter:
Annapolis, to George Washington, 1782 July 30.
3 p.
30.th July 1782.
I am
honord with your favour wrote from Newburgh without Date and should some time
ago have anticipated your Requisitions, by laying before you the information you
require but was first Solicitous to have a Detachment nearly ready for marching,
which the want of Cloathing and equipment has prevented.
As you
seem desirous of obtaining regular Reports of the Progress I have made, and a
minute detail of my transactions on the recruiting Service for your more ample
satisfaction in these Points. I have transmitted [struck: two] copies of
two Acts of this State, and a copy of private Instructions received from the
general Assembly, under which by direction of General Greene I have
superintended, and prosecuted the recruiting Service in the course of this
Spring and Summer and of my transactions on this Duty antecedent to this, in
course of the last Summer, I then gave you a short account. -
I have
also inclosed a copy of the Roll of Men recruited since the first of February to
which is annexed a copy of Instructions to recruiting Officers, founded on the
above Acts and Instructions, a list of Districts &c. and posts of
intermediate rendezvous, from which you may form a Comprehensive View of the
brain this Business has been put into I have likewise enclosed a detail of
my transactions with the county Lieutenants and Draughts, directed under the
first act - the Draughts have and will mostly compound for a Sum of Money to
procure a Recruit, which will be more eligible than obtaining their temporary
Service, but the Lieutenants are tardy in executing this duty, and as yet have
rendered no Returns, tho I believe they have received a good deal of Money which
I have given the commanding Officers of Districts orders for to be applied as
the Act directs I have been thus circumstantial in compliance with your
desire, and to shew you that the objects in view have not failed thro
inattention but I dare say you will not have leisure or patience to peruse
the process through.
I have
met with every difficulty and obstruction in conducting this Service When
the Money came in (and then but very partially) it was too late [inserted:
(being the 18th of Febuary)] to commence this Duty, the people had
mostly engaged in some Business for the year The Recruiting Officers having
no means of bearing their Expenses, the [2] want of Barracks cloathing and
necessary Supplies almost of every kind for Recruits as they were raised The
treatment, naked and wretched Situation of those in Service the abject distress
and total neglect of disabled and disbanded Soldiers gave weight to their too
just murmurs all which became very discouraging to this Dutyand the base
speculation made on the Officers and Soldiers Certificates for Pay and
Depriciation, who thro mere necessity were obliged in many instances to part
with them at a twentieth part of their value before the property pledged for
their redemption could be soldtogether with the Injustice of the State in
depriving all those of the benefit of the Act whose terms of Service expired
before it took place, has deprived us of many valuable old Soldiers, and
rendered Desertion very prevalent, many under the former description, having
voluntarely Offerd their Service again provided the public woud justly
comply with what had been pledged.
is another circumstance which has been a very material obstruction, indeed I
might add that for some time it put a Total stop to the Recruiting Service, this
is the preparations for defence of our Bay the frequent depredations and
Ravages of the Enemy in their Barges last spring, became so very alarming to the
Legislature that for some time it was almost the sole object of the public
attention, applying the most certain of the Funds appropraited to the recruiting
Service, towards the equipment and Maning with three hundred Men four Barges and
a Galley, the Bounty and short inlistmts. in this Service effetually suspended
Recruiting, but these Equipments being nearly compleated it may revive again,
but imagine the prospect will not be flattering before the Fall when the People
will become disengaged.
Duty at this Station has been the most perplexing and fatiguing Tour I ever
engaged in, and you may rest assured it has been prosecuted with [struck:
in] unabaling diligence, notwithstanding our Small Success, which is to
be attributed to the above causes, and the great relaxation and Inattention of
the Departments in the civil line, with which this Duty is connected and
dependant on Ever since the first of March I handed in to the Executive a list
of Districts and the Posts to be furnished with provisions, Firewood and
Barracks for the Recruits, not one has been Supplied, except this place, and
that in so Shameful and Scanty a manner, that for want of the two latter in the
cold part of the Spring I was obliged to suffer such of the Soldiers who
could be trusted to [3] go home, and since they have been crowded in places not
fit for Hog sties many of them having been without a Hatt, Shirt Shoes or even
Breeches, and not the least provision made to supply or bear the Expences of
Officers on Duty who being without Pay or the means of Support, I was also
obliged to let them go homebut you will observe the latter Act has made some
further provision if it can be carried into execution, which has not yet been
effected if those Evils could be remedied I am Still persuaded the
Recruiting Service woud flourish.
I sent
Majr. Davidson upwards of two Months ago to Philadelphia for cloathing to
compleat a Detachment of three hundred Men for marching; he was detained a Month
and came without it at last, but he was promised it should be sent on
immediately, with Waggons to transport the Baggage of the Troops, but neither
have yet arrived, as soon as they come I shall march the Detachment agreeable to
General Greenes orders to join the Southern Army unless I shoud have your
Counter Orders, it is fully Officerd Armed and accoutred, General Lincoln
upon application having sent me three hundred Stand of Arms and Accoutrements,
and an order on the Conductor of Military Stores at Richmond for two hundred
Stand more of the Arms captured from Lord Cornwallis.
It has
and will be impossible for me to answer your expectations or General Greenes in
conducting these duties unless I am better aided; here I have been confined ever
since last December strugling in vain to carry them into execution, but hope
circumstances may alter as they cant well grow worse.
I have the honor to remain with very sincere
Regard Your Mo. Obedt. & Hble Servant.
