I was favoured with yours concerning the Laird
of Dunlop on Monday but some particular accidents have
prevented me Answering you till now.

I find nothing in his Case but some infirmities
which at his time of life will be difficult to mend. His
principal complaint seem to be a weakness at the neck
of the bladder obliging him to make water very frequently
and that this indeed as you explain it is also the cause
of his going so frequently to stool. In such a case I have
frequently found the Uva Ursi of great service but it
can be of none unless it is continued for some time. As it
strengthens the intestine without giving Costiveness I
thought it might even mend M.r Dunlops complaint
of flatulency and therefore I wish you could persuade
him to continue the use of it for sometime. But as I
am uncertain of your success in this and he expresses
a desire to have another medicine I have given you

Please let M.r Dunlop know that the taking a great
deal of Exercise in a Carriage is likely to be of as much
service as any medicine whatever. If we could depend upon
the continuance of the present weather I would advise
him immediately to Enter upon a Journey of two three
weeks.

The Lady in her letter gave me many very Civil words
but Sent me no fee but you if you please may let her
know that a Correspondence does not go on well in that
condition. I am as always with the utmost regard

For Mr Dunlop of Dunlop.
