Normalized Text
For Mrs Campbell of Clathick
I think she is some better & I am confident she
will be still better. I consider the tinges or streaks in
her spitting I consider as nothing at all. It is true that
she still feels a little in her breast but I have no doubt
of that going off with other symptoms & if she would
give less attention to those little weaknesses, sickish¬
nesses & so forth she would feel nothing at all. In this
view you will not be surprised I give no new advice.
Take Exercise in allowable weather & divert her¬
self as well as she can. If there had been any
thing wrong in her breast the cold she caught immed¬
iately on her going home, would not have gone off so
easily as it did.
