You have done very right in writing
to me but you could not expect to be free from
complaints in so short a time as since you
received my letter. I did not expect it in a
longer time and especially at such a season
as must have restrained you very much
in your ordinary Exercise and may have
hurt you very much by cold. In the
mean time I do not perceive that my
medicine has had any effect in producing
the symptoms you mention and therefore
though I would have you let it alone till
this severe weather is over I will advise
you to take it then regularly for two or
three weeks when both you and I will
be better able to judge of its effects. Wishing
you heartily success
I am Sir your most
Obedient Servant
