Miss Campbell

Dear Sir,


The letter you Sent me enclosed yesterday
gives me great pleasure but gives me very
little occasion to Say any thing on the Subject.
I hope that Miss Campbell shall continue
to recover and I hope it may be left to Mr.
Ochiltrees discretion to conduct her recovery
till it is quite compleat. I think She will
be the better for continuing the Chalybeate
and that Mr. Ochiltree judges very pro¬
perly in with drawing the opiate only by
slow degrees. And in the mean time ma¬
naging her belly as well as he can. I hope
She will continue to get out of bed as little
more every day and that at length She
will get into Air and Exercise which is what
I depend upon for compleating her recovery. My
Compliments to him and believe me to be always

Dear
Sir yours &c.
