Letter from an unnamed correspondent [identifiable from internal evidence as Cullen's former pupil Dr John Waineman], quoting a letter from his brother, another former pupil [Dr Oglethorp Wainman] concerning the case of Miss [Mary] Swaine, daughter of Daniel Swaine of Leverington. She has symptoms which he regards as resembling Chorea (St Vitus' Dance) after an intermittent fever. Oglethorp Wainman thinks the 'Disorders peculiar to this Marshy Country' are 'very curious & many extremely curious', and means to write about them some time. | May 1780 | |||
