Honorable Mrs. Murray
Madam
I have the honour of yours with the
Notes inclosed yesterday, but being out of town
could not answer you till now.
I am happy to hear of the benefit you have
received from Moffat water and hope that another
Season of the same will give you a very complete
cure. In the mean time have no objection to your
trying a little of the Harrowgate but must tell
you that this is three times stronger than
Moffat and therefore if you try it you should
always take one or two parts of Spring water
along with one of the Harrowgate, and if even
then it purges you more than the Moffat used
{illeg} if the Harrowgate should be
diminished. When you take the Harrowgate
you must {illeg} powders, but I hope
that
[Page 2]
that without Harrowgate water the use of these
powders ↑now and then↑ may keep your ailment in subjection and
am not disposed to advise at present any other
remedy, at least till you shall be pleased to let
me know that your ailments are again become
troublesome. In that case you may depend upon
the most punctual attention and least advice from
Madam
Your most obedient Servant
