Mrs. Deans

Dear Sir

I am favoured with yours of the 22d. only
this day. I am happy to think Mrs. Deans some
better and I don't expect she will be quite well till
the Season is much further advanced. She may have
what opinion she pleases, but her being exposed to
it till the season is much mended will I think
be dangerous.

I believe that she takes enough of the Seneka
decoction but if she can take a little more without
sickness or purging she may do it

For Dr. Smiths Library I shall think of it
but I am too much hurried at present to do it
properly. With best compliments to Mrs. Deans

I am always
Sir
your most obedient Servant
