Mr Thorp Concerning Miss Furye
Happy sheis so well --- but her delicacy will still require much
attention. Winter dangerous to such --- Exercise has certainly
been of service to her, but difficult in winter to manage it ---
Avoid cold by warm cloaths & flannel shirt next the skin.
Issue must not be dried up at this season. Keep it in till
June next -- -- She may safely during winter season & when sick
affected with cold, but it requires caution & moderation.
May continue the Asses milk. Against another season
your measures are all & I hope [more?] that 1 necessary & I have
no new advice unless new circumstances cast up in winter or the
spring. Happy that Mrs Thorp is better.
