Mrs Gillon Concerning Mr Frank Cunninghame
This will come to you by Mr F. C. who is at present
in very good health, and I hope you shall have nothing to do
but to keep him as he is, and for that purpose I have a few
directions to offer. -- Keep him on one hand from being much
in the sun, & on the other from wet and cold. Let him be often
in the open air & in gentle exercise, but let him not be heated
or too much fatigued. His diet is to be chiefly milk and grain
that is bread, rice, barly Sago & even oatmeal. - At times he
he may have a bit of Chicken or boiled meat at dinner but
neither much at one time nor often. Every day if he chooses he
may have some Chicken broth or beef tea with bread. Tea except very

be of great service to send him abroad either in a Carriage or on horseback
before a man. - Let him always go to bed betimes and

and not lay too long in the Morning. ---
