Reply for Miss Dingwall (possibly consumptive), for whom Cullen recommends a sea voyage. Since she 'she has some particular temptation' to go to Bristol, he also suggests she might 'make trial of the hot well there'. Cullen recommends she continue taking opium pills, and encloses a recipe for pectoral pills. She is probably in Aberdeen, and related to Alexander Dingwall's family. | 16 May 1782 | |||
