[DOC ID:828] |
Reply in the form of an incomplete corrected draft by Cullen on the cases of Mr and Mrs Knox answering an enquiry from T. Shiels in Dublin. It is all in Cullen's own hand, but a recipe and editorial corrections have clearly been added with a different pen. The cross and other marks are Cullen's system for marking where amendments are to be integrated into to polished version. | July 1772 | |||
