Lady Erroll
It happened as I [expected?] that Lady Charlotte
would not willingly part with her hair and the only
substitute for Cold [bathing?] that I [can recommend?] and at
present, is, her Ladyships being very much in fresh
and cool air, partly walking moderately [but more?]
especially Riding on horseback. In the Summer
Season, this must be in the Mornings and Evenings
only, for being exposed to much heat, might be very
hurtful. As her Ladyship is at present in
very good health I cannot think of putting her upon
any course of medicine, but if for Six or Eight weeks
the [months?] of June and July her Ladyship will
be pleased to take {illeg} [a pint?] of
{illeg}
{illeg}
{illeg}
{illeg}
[Page 2]
I {illeg} the difference [between?] {illeg}
{illeg} be so great that Lady Charlotte {illeg}
take the trouble of going to any distance for the former.
{illeg} I have not now advised any medicines
because they must be at too great a distance from {illeg}
Lady Charlottes time of {illeg}, yet if your Ladyship
will be pleased in the month of September next
to let me know the state of Lady Charlottes health
I shall then advise what in my opinion may
best obviate her winter Complaints.
I have the honour to be with the utmost respect
and regard to your Ladyship and family.
