Letter from James Ewart in Dumfries regarding his mother (Margaret), who has been following most of Cullen's previous advice to her (given in Letter ID 346). Her cough and chest pains are still continuing. She has had her side blistered, and an issue (unsuccessful) in her arm, but refuses a seton. Leeches relieved acute pain under her left breast. He is fearful for her. | 30 November 1775 | |||
