For Miss Kerr

Little to be added to my former &c.

Still of opinion that the only safe diet is milk, grain & fruit. The last are often
suspected of being laxative but often do not prove so in such cases as this & therefore may
be tried, with caution. No animal food, except a little good beef tea or chicken
broth at dinner with bread barley or rice. When she is on the road in cold weather
she may take a bit of chicken or other white meat but at isle of Wight all animal
food should be laid aside.

Drink. Water & watery liquors, but in case of faintness, a spoonful of
claret is the safest cordial, especially if not used very often.

Will be much the better of her journey if she avoid cold or fatigue. As to cold I have
formerly given directions & I believe they are very well understood, & I only add, she
should have two stone bottles, filled with boiling water to be laid under her feet in the carriage
As to fatigue the length & number of stages a day to be adjusted to her strength. At first
she should travel slowly & for one or 2 stages only but as he [bears?] thro she
& gets into good roads she may make longer &c. & indeed it is desireable to get

to the South as soon as conveniently can.

In the isle of Wight must continue her exercise, but in mild & fair weather, should
go out in a carriage every forenoon avoiding going in frosty or wet weather.
She will [find?] the spring very easy & when she becomes fine & pretty warm if
her strength can bear & she can get a right horse, very proper to go a [little?]
on horseback.

As to her dwelling place in the isle of Wight being dry & sheltered, and lodging
being warm dry & airy all that to be left to herself Mrs K. &ccc

As I depend chiefly on climate diet & exercise, I shall give few medicines.

Must take with her a Phial or two of the strengthening mixture & the recipe for
it that she may have it renewed &cc. Must continue during the journey
to take it 2 or 3 times a day but if her bowels become firmer & cough
less frequent may take it as seldom as she pleases & only when looseness & cough &cc.

Only one other medicine & which she is to prepare for herself & i.e. the
Decoction of tussilago leaves. Mr Wardrop will put up a quantity of materials
in separate papers, to be marked № 1. & 2. A paper of № 1. is to be
put into a choppin of boiling water & boiled over the fire till one half be boiled
away. When it is nearly so far boiled let a paper of the materials № 2. be put
in & after these have boiled 5 minutes the whole to be taken from the fire & strained
thro a flannel bag. The liquid to be put into a bottle well corked & set in a
cool place. Of this Decoction Miss Kerr is to take 2 3 or 4 tablespoonfuls at a
time & 2 3 or 4 times a day as her stomach &c.
