Covering letter and enclosed case notes from Dr Alexander Wilson. In his covering letter, Wilson mentions Mr Justamond's publication on flores martiales and his own success with it in the case of a hardened testicle. He also gossips about other doctors, reports on the health of his pregnant wife, and asks after Mrs Cullen - all of which indicate that Wilson and Cullen were part of a shared social/professional network. The case (concerning which Wilson seeks Cullen's advice) is that of Miss Richardson, who suffers from swollen and hardened glands or lymph nodes in several areas of her body. | 5 October 1781 | |||
