[DOC ID:3847] |
Reply concerning Miss Fraser, presumably to Dr Skene. Cullen says that from what he saw of the patient, 'I am persuaded that if not the whole the greatest part of her ailments are feigned'; he wrote the preceding letter (ID:3846, which was presumably enclosed with this one) 'to be ostensible, and here I give you my real opinion', as it might put her mother 'out of countenance'. | 28 June 1776 | |||
