Mrs. Murray

I have the honour of yours this morning, and
comprehend the present state of your health as Clearly and
distinctly from your own account, as I could have
done from any other information. The mixture operates
just as I would have it, and I have no doubt of its
being in time of great Service to you. I would therefore
have it continued and if the bulkness of the dose is
troublesome Mr. Reid knows how to render it of
less bulk. While the mixture continues to operate
by stool as it does, there will be no occasion for the
cooling Salts I formerly proposed. As the healing lotion
has been of service to the neck, and will in time be so
also to the Arms, but the eruption on the Arms is
more violent, and may require a longer, and perhaps
a longer use of it. I hope {illeg}
shou'd the inflammation about the mouth and eyes
and I hope {illeg} it will also take off the {illeg}

but if it {illeg} the {illeg} may make it a {illeg}
stronger. As the Whey {illeg} the appetite so much either
the quantity of it may be diminished {illeg}
may be allowed between the Whey and breakfast. Your
being more free from itching in the night must be a
great relief, and I hope it shall not return, but I
suspect your walking may heat too much, and in
that case favour the itching, and if you can perceive
this you must avoid too much walking. Fresh Air
is a great means of health, but I would wish you to
take it in a Carriage rather than in walking. I am
concerned for the eruptions appearing in other parts
of the body, but it must have its course, and I hope
it will be of service to your health. I may hereafter
propose the applying the lotion to the new eruption
but I would yet till I hear further of its effect
upon the Arms. In the present state of things, I see no
reason for your coming in Town, but when you shall please
to write you may depend upon the most punctual attention
from Madam Your most Obedient Humble Servant
