The Consultation Letters of Dr William Cullen (1710-1790) at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
[ID:2953] From: [AUTHOR UNKNOWN] / To: Dr William Cullen (Professor Cullen) / Regarding: Miss Janet MacDuff (McDuff) (Patient) / 27? December? 1786? / (Incoming)
Letter from Janet D., concerning her own case. She tells Cullen that she 'must of necessity see you immediately'. Dating based entirely on location in box with no textual support. Has been compared with letters from Janet in Case 1156, and probably the same person. Inferred that this letter is late Dec 1786. There is no mention of in Cullen's letter 5376 of the 28 Dec in reply to Robert Wood (letter 2948 of 24 Dec) about Janet's increasing anxiety, as shown by her writing in this letter, and there is no mention of medicine in her letter, which suggests it may have been written after the 24th and Cullen didn't receive it until after the 28th.
