Poor Boswell is very low, & desperate & ... melancholy mad, feels no spring, no pleasure in existence, & is so perceptibly altered for the worse that it is remarked everywhere. I try all I can to revivify him, but he [turns?] so tiresomely & tediously--for the same cursed trite commonplace topics, about death &c.--that we grow old, and when we are old, we are not young--that I despair of effecting a cure. Doctors Warren and Devaynes very kindly interest themselves about him, but you wd be of more service to him than anyone. Quoted from a MS at Yale University Library by James Osborn,
