[William Hay, Sr., to James Wood, Governor of Virginia,August 9, 1798, in Henry W. Flournoy, ed., Calendar of Virginia State Papers and Other Manuscripts… 8 (Richmond, 1890), p.507:]
[Themes: health]
I am at present so much indisposed from a spell of sickness that I have had for a fortnight….
I mean to set off for the Green Springs the day after tomorrow, and perhaps it will not be in my power to render that service [as a director for the construction of the State Capitol] to the public which I wish.
