the happiness [of most?] on thy Family,
being intimately connected, with the
welfare of the young Lady, who is the
subject of the inclosed Case, I venture
to trespass upon your goodness so much
as to request your sentiments upon
the subject, at as early a period as
may be consistent with your various
[vocations?] perhaps it may appear
one of those Anamolies, which has
its seat in the Nervous System, and
of which we ↑have↑ many more curious
than useful examples on record.
{illeg} I wish to profit by your
[Page 2]
very superior opinion and feel a
peculiar satisfaction in expressing
my entire and most grateful regard,
for those many improvements which
our Profession has to thank you for
Sir. -- Could I flatter myself with
contributing in any degree, to the happiness
or length of your days; or in any other
manner than this, express the Just
value I have, for your very eminent
and superior abilities, it would give
me every sensible pleasure. With
these sentiments I must ever remain
Dear Sir
your very obedient & obliged
Humble servant
[Page 3]
Ps I sometime since took the liberty
of sending you some Cases of the
Hydrophobia, 1 but doubt whether
they were worth your perusal
