I have had the Pleasure
to attend Mrs. Ogilvie for some Time past.
She showed me your Directions to her as to
her Management, when here. These have been
complied with as far as possible - unless when
Circumstances changing - required an Alteration
the Waters seem to agree wt her from gentle
Emetics - taking away a small Qty. of Blood
& Issue applied to her Side. Evident Advan¬
tage has been observed: she has little or no
Degree of Fever. Appetite good. No Night Sweats
Cough very inconsiderable, & allows herself to be
better - her Spirits in general good. Sometimes a little
low

This Plan may be continued for some
Weeks longer, but the Question naturally
occurrs, what next - I certainly would not advise
her spending the Winter in Scotland - but rather
wish Mrs. O. to go abroad. South of France
or Italy. If you are of the same opinion -
I wish you would mention it to Mr Maillard
& Lady Betty Anstruther & favor me w. a
few Lines. I have told Miss Grant of my
Intention to write you, & what my Opinion
is. She assures me its impossible for her
to go abroad wt. Mrs. Ogilvie, therefore hopes
L. Betty Anstr. will

I was happy in the Company of a Patient
you sent me last Winter. Capt. Maxwell
He went from this much better, but I am
sorry to find, he was not in a situation to
attend his Regt. to America. Pray how does
he go on?

I beg my best Respects to Mrs. Cullen
which my Wife joins. Remembers your Attention
for her Daur. wt. Gratitude. She enjoys perfect Health -
Pray remember me to my Friend Mr. robert, whose
Counsel in our late Question before Lord Covington
has been so successful. ¹ I hope our Agent has be¬
haved properly by him. He had my orders to do so
& I hope he has
