Dr P. Scott Concerning Miss Betham.
Your information very exact & more so than I at
first apprehended; but still I do not find room to
give better advice than I did before and only can
advise the Sea bathing with more confidence now than
before & I hope that it with the Strengthening Medicines
will do her service
