Letter from Jean Kirkpatrick concerning the case of her father, who has consulted Cullen. They have now gone to Shaws, by Drumlanrig, and he is under Mr Stewart's care. 'His wavering does not depend much upon the quantity of wine as He is sometimes as ill in that way when he takes but two glasses as with half a bottle. He never exceeds the a bottle in the day now & seldom goes that length'. A note in Cullen's handwriting adds that the letter is 'answered but not needing to be transcribed'.20 May 1777
