I am favoured with yours this
morning and have no difficulty about your
case. You have fairly got the gout which
you must manage as well as you can. The
circumstances of it I can neither an¬
swer for nor account for, nor have I
any advice to offer, but that of rest and
avoiding cold. Instead of prescribing for
you I must advise you to lay aside all
medicine, and only inform me when
anything new or singular occurs.
Wishing you all health I am
respectfully
Dear Colonel
Your most obedient humble servant
