I am extremely oblig'd to you for your
last Favour, & cannot sufficiently thank you for the very kind
interest you have taken in the concerns of a person who is entirely
unknown to You. --- I feel my anxiety on my little Boy's account
much reliev'd by the advice you have given me, & for the happy effects
of it (for which I trust they will be) I shall ever gratefully reflect
that I am as much indebted to the humanity & benevolence of the
Man, as to the superior skill & experience of the Physician. ---
I am, with the highest respect
Sir!
Your oblig'd humble Servant
