Glasgow 20thJanuary 1775

Dear Sir

I was in hopes to hear from you before
this time, your opinions with regards to my friend Henry Lochhead.
Since I had the pleasure of seeing you in November I have
received two letters from him, which confirm my hopes of
his speedily getting over all his complaints. I shall
briefly repeat to you his situation by these letters, that
you may by comparing it with his letter & the Ones I left
with you, form an answer such as I hope will remove
all his doubts.

The uneasiness in ano which he complains of in his letter
appears to have been a touch of the blind piles which has now
gone off: the laxity in the urethra still continues with a
little rubbing and a small degree of incontinence of urine.

[Page 2]

The striam small, somewhat peculiar & tinding to two -
making it about 4 or 5 times a day & 3 or 4 in the night
He again puts the question whither or not bougies would
remove these, or leaving it to time, & temperance as to
drink, avoiding salt meatsm with a little, safe vinery.
He has no heat of urine and, the Chordee is entirely gone.
He Eats fowls boil'd, fresh beef with plenty of vegetables
mixess a very small quantity of wine or rum with his
water. He is chiefly anxious about the stream of urine
being so weakly & the glut tho' small still continuing
& thinks bougies safely introduced would remove
both these complaints, but adds that your opinion
on this will finally weigh with - I looking over
what I have wrote I cannot see any thing but what
you have already been informed of, however as I
know, you would, much rather too much was said

[Page 3]

than too little I shall make no apology -
I only beg you will be as full as possible in your
answer, as I am in hopes of setting off for
Virginia by the middle of next week I must
request your answer by monday if possible -
Hoping you will excuse this trouble, I am
