Capt. James Maxwell.
Better for being in the Highlands -- but the Whey ↑alone↑ will
certainly not cure his Cough -- A Blister between the Shoulders
may do good. & it maybe applied if in the Highlands if he stays any
time there, - but if his Cough continues to return as it has done
some other remedy necessary & particularly some length of
Journey - but more of this & concerning the Bark I will not
determine till I see you here, which if the weather breaks
I think should be directly &cc.
