but I suffered much with the chills & fever Elder Taylor
up to this time had appeared to enjoy excellent health but
the Destroyer did not intend to make him an exception
to the rest of the Apostles for on the 29 Aug he fell to
the ground as though he had been knocked down seemed to have
fainted away but soon revived but on the following day
it seemed as though the enemy made a powerful grasp
upon his life. He fainted away several times and seemed
as though he would die we stoped several times with
him at a home by the way side we then took him into
a waggon & drove to Brother Horace S Eldridge and spent
the remainder of the day & night [feeding] him and in
the morning Br Tayler recovered so for that he thought
he would be able to ride so we started on our journey
on the Morning of the 30 and we travelled 40 miles to
Louisville and spent the night with the family of Br
James Townsend. We felt terribly shaken up
being in such a weak state Br Townsend was absent
from home but we were kindly entertained by Sister Townsend
in the morning Elder Taylor though very weak felt disposed
to try to continue his journey. We traveled 14 miles to
Germantown was quite sick at night and seemed
to have the Billious fever setted settled upon him
and I was very feeble myself
