Temptation and Recovery in Bristol Mission Work
The document chronicles a preacher facing discouragement yet praising God for mercy and grace. It covers his early zeal in Bristol, a declared illness in November 1809, partial recovery, renewed faith during sermons, and a worsening illness leading to delirium in December 1809 and January 1810. It notes family affliction, nervous fever, medical aid, bed rest, and lingering weakness afterward.
