I have the same opinions of his ailments as
before, but the threatenings in his breast are not
so considerable as they were. I have only one remedy
to propose, & that is his journey he intends.

It should be entirey on horseback if possible.
In bad weather, should rest or take a carriage

sago with milk, or by themselves with a
spoonful or two of wine.

He must be more sparing however if either the
meat or wine heat him or affect his breast.

In case of costiveness take the pills ord.
