Semjuels Džonsons  
1783. gada 16. jūnijā pēc pārciestras triekas Semjuels Džonsons atklāja, ka nespēja parunāt. Nākamajā rītā viņš uzrakstīja vēstuli un iedeva to savam sulainim, lai tas to nogādā kaimiņam. 
Lūk, šī vēstule:
 "Dear Sir, It hath pleased almighty God this morning to deprive me of the powers of speech; and, as I do not know that it may be his farther good pleasure to deprive me soon of my senses, I request you will, on the receipt of this note, come to me, and act for me, as the exigencies of my case may require"

By the skill and attention of these two worthy persons, he was, at length, restored to such a degree of health that, on the 27th of the same month, he was able to water his garden, and had no remaining symptoms of disease, excepting that his legs were observed to be swoln, and he had some presages of an hydropic affection.
