Documents in this case

6 document(s) found in this case.

DOC ID	Summary	Date
[DOC ID:3824]	Reply 'For Lord Cathcart' concerning his management and treatment for Pthisis . No addressee identified and this might possibly be Cullen's summary of a regimen provided at a personal consultation. This inference is reinforced by the letter from Cathcart dated 4 June (one day later), which suggests that he has just reached his hone at Shaw Park near Glasgow having just seen Cullen in Edinburgh (see Letter 1282). Moreover, other letters relating to this case are all addressed directly to Cathcart rather than to an intermediary practitioner.	3 June 1776
