Normalized Text
Dr. Cullen presents most respectfull compliments to Lady
Selkirk and sends inclosed his advice for Lady Mary.
He sends them now that Lady Selkirk may have time to
consider them against the Evening when the Dr. will have the honour
of waiting upon her Ladyship to give what explinations or additions
may be required. 1
Notes:
1: Cullen's house at Mint Close bordered the garden of the Selkirk's Edinburgh town-house. He was, in effect, their neighbour. This case-book entry suggests he wanted to keep a record of a short note that had probably been hand-delivered by a servant.
