[ID:2661] From: Reverend Charles Charleton / To: Dr William Cullen (Professor Cullen) / Regarding: Reverend Charles Charleton (Patient) / 14 July 1785 / (Incoming)
Letter from Reverend Charles Charleton, concerning his own case. He was 'induced to submit my case to your judgement, from the merit you have deservedly acquired both in the medical & literary world'. Letter dated July, yet annotations have June implying that the author put the wrong month at head of letter. This dating also makes more sense when read next in sequence.
