Normalized Text
Mr Everard Macyntire Concerning Mr Craufurd.
Glad to find Mr Craufurd a good deal better, but he has still
pains at times and his dreaming awake is a sign that all is not
yet quite right. I am of opinion that he should yet put on another
blister and that he should still persist in a very cool Diet, for
I am certain that if he does not his recovery will be more
slow---- The Whey he takes in the morning very proper & much
more so- as it keeps his belly open- I cannot object to his
walking out a good deal, but I think this a Carriage or in
this Weather going on horseback would still do better.
I would advise him to a journey; but I think he will do
better not to engage in it till by cool living he has got
quite the better of the inflammatory state he has been in
