well but for some weeks past She
has had a stiffness in her neck &
head aiks at times, which She has
been subject to these two last winters
& her Cheeck swelled a good deall
betwixt the two sores now Mrs Mclaws
writes it has broke at the lower
Sore & running a good deall. Pray
has that ointment you spoke of provd
effectuall, it it has I beg you woud
procure some of it for her or if
you think any alteration in her
bathing or otherways shoud be made

of being in that Countrey soon & woud
wish to see her write Mrs Mclaws
