[DOC ID:742] |
Letter from Rachel Cuthbert of Inverness, thanking Cullen for a cure: 'I would be the greatest Wretch alive if I had not the greatest sense of your goodness'. Dated 1761, but 1759 deleted. Rachel was about 19-21, depending on the year of writing. The rather familiar tone is explained by the fact that her sister was married to Cullen's brother-in-law, James Johnston. | 23 January 1761 | |||
