Mrs. Cockayne
Dear Sir
It gives me grat pleasure to receive your
accounts of Mrs. Cockaynes health, and I hope by
the continuance of her attention to diet and Exercise
her health shall continue to become better and
better. I hope she has been the better of the steel
pills, and think she should now and then still
take a course of them. But I can by no means
advise the Bark in any shape, as it is probable
enough that in former trials it had the effects
you mention. I am much pleased with your
trial of Cold bathing, and am clear that you
should continue in the same cautious manner
to bring it on by degrees, till she can go into the
Sea, especially when the season is farther ad¬
vanced. I hope you shall have no occasion for it, but
when I can be of any service you may freely command
Sir
Your most Obedient Servant
