[DOC ID:775] |
Letter from Miss Thomson sent from Bath concerning her own case. She reports a lack of progress following Cullen's prescription and advice to employ bougies. Written in third person, but this is almost certainly a matter of formality, an assumption supported by the intimacy of her report. | 27 March 1765 | |||
