I have infinite obligations for the advice I received
of the 2d of June, relative to my complaint,
but am much concerned to trouble you a
second time. I adhered strictly to the Warm
bathing according to your advice & imagend
I found myself much better but about
the 12th my complaint return'd. I have taken
four dozes of Dovers powders which swelled
me a good deal, & I am sorry to say have not
been at all Efficatious. This morning I find
my thighs as if the muscles were much swelled (↑sweated↑)
& yet a pulsation in my knees which has never been thoroughly remov'd. I still continue
wearing the tight buckskin breeches & have
us'd little or no Exercise. Your farther advice
in my case will lay me under the greatest Ob¬
ligations.

Humble Servant

Eyre Coote 1
1773
Notes:
1: Sir Eyre Coote (1726-1783), was commandant at Fort George (from 1773 to 1778). His signature here serves as a "frank" indicating that, as a favour to Bagold, he is drawing on his privilege as Member of the House of Lords to not incur any postal charges.
