Reply headed 'For Mr Robert Anderson'. Cullen does not believe that his condition is venereal: 'It does not appear to me that he has received any infection from his late Companion and I am well persuaded of the contrary'. He gives advice on diet and exercise, and wearing a flannel shirt. The enclosure of an aperient prescription is mentioned, but it appears to be missing. | 24 August 1789 | |||
