text: 18th November. Moved Camp back to Borpothar. Got such a severe attack of fever on the road that I was compelled to rest at the Nambor where I lay until the fever attack left me, and I then proceeded on to Borpothar. It was very fortunate Forresh happened to be encamped at the Nambor and I was therefore enabled to get in bed to lie down.
text: 19th November. Got another attack of fever to-day and have not been able to do anything.
text: 20th November. I did intend to march to-day on to Horiojan but I found I was so weak I could scarcely sit on my pony and so think it's better to wait.
