[DOC ID:2626]	Unsigned case note describing the case of Mrs Maxwell of Kirkconnel (possibly written by her son, the physician William Maxwell, though the hand in this letter and in 2624 does not correspond with that in 2655, which is signed by William Maxwell).

[DOC ID:5059]	Reply, 'For Mrs Maxwell'. Cullen is 'of opinion that a Gouty disposition is the foundation of the whole [her various ailments]' and prescribes a diaphoretic solution, the recipe for which is enclosed. This letter appears to be addressed, more generally, to an unknown physician. In letter 6292, however, Cullen addresses John Gilchrist and states he 'had not the smallest hint of your being concerned in the Case otherwise I should have addressed himself more particularly to you' in prior correspondence.	30?
