Reply, 'For William Holland', a disabled child. Cullen is 'surprised that the Child has survived the series of ailments which he suffered in the year 1777 and before it', and observes that while he has good stamina, the constitution is not 'sound' and possibly scrofulous. Advises on using Swadlingbar water. | 29 March 1783 | |||
