Letter from James Reid concerning two daughters of Mr Welsh, a farmer, both suffering from 'very alarming complaints of their lungs'. Cullen not named in this letter but his reply does suggest that Mr Welsh brought Reid's letter to him. | 25 June 1782 | |||
[DOC ID:588] |
Reply to James Reid concerning Mr Welsh's two daughters, both of whom Cullen thinks to be 'in a very dangerous way'. | 26 June 1782 | |||
[DOC ID:592] |
Reply regarding Mr Welsh's two daughters. Cullen largely agrees with their Reid's care, although suggests horseback riding and pectoral pills in addition. This is a supplement to Cullen's reply of the 26th June 1872 (Doc [ID:588] ) which was written in a hurry so Mr Welsh could have the most urgent advice passed to him immediately. No evidence of postage on this copy but related letter does suggest that this second letter would be sent by post. | 30 June 1782 | |||
