Mr. Donald
Dear Dr
I think it my duty {illeg}
though I {illeg}
any thing to say upon our previous plan and incidental
matters must be left to your discretion. I am sorry to
find any return of disorder in his belly but I hope
they are from slight incidental causes that will soon
pass over. I should be sorry to find Laudanum very
necessary but that I must leave to your good judgment
With Compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Donald and Mr.
Dunlop I am
Dear Dr.
Yours &c.
