Unsigned case note, describing the case of an unnamed 60-year-old female patient. Date given as Inverness, 9 December 1781 but annotated January 1781 (which might be an older usage that starts the new year in March), with cross-reference to the reply being in Volume XI, p.134, which confirms the letters was received in January 1781 (to avoid confusion, this is the date recorded in this database) and firmly identifies the patient as Mrs Fraser and the writer of the case-note on her obstructed bowel as her husband. | 9 January? 1781 | |||
