For Miss Robertson. See p. 40
A more favourable opinion now --- her being mended by the Opiate so much,
makes me think her breathlessness rather nervous, than from an obstruction of lungs;
& being relieved of the pain of her side is (↑appears↑) to me very favourable -- therefore need not
insist on the blister to her side. Now be less forward in repeating bleedings
always reserving however your judgement of urgency of symptoms. As she
has never had any Expectoration, would not trouble her with Squills. Hope
she continues to bear the chaise, & better than before. In my present foreview
of the case, leave her to that exercise, her milk diet, milk ass's milk,
pear juice, & discreet use of Opiates. May continue the Electuary but thePills
may now be intermitted till hear from me again. ---- Your's of
the second current I had, & wrote an answer in course, but suspect it did not go,
so have written you again.
