Reply headed 'For Captain Weemyss' (i.e. Wemyss). A short, numbered regimen, with a recipe for Cephalic Pills and recommendation to wear a flannel shirt. The opening 'As soon as he is a day settled at home' may suggest that he has been to visit Cullen in person. Destination guessed from the fact that the majority of the Wemysses are based in Fife. Quite poor copy. | 8 December 1787 | |||
