I received your letter some time ago, and according
to your prescription have taken the medicine you
ordered me for the Rheumatism, which I have
found to agree with me perfectly well, and I
have not had any return of any complaints since
I began it -- I have now left it off for a little while
unless you should think it proper for me to
continue it, but as I am to be in Edinburgh in
about ten days I beg you will not take the trouble
to write, as I shall then have an opportunity of
speaking to you -- My Mother and sister Augusta
beg to join in Compliments to you, and are happy to
inform you that the latter has not suffered in
the least from Kelso Races -- I am Sir
Etall House
