Earl of Peterborough
My Lord
I have the honour of your Lordships
from Penrith, and am a little disconcerted
by it, but considering the irregularity of
your disease and the inequality of the
operation of medicines upon it I am not
ready to change the measures that
appear to me sufficiently probable. I
have often found benefit of the medicine
prescribed in disorders of the stomach, and
never knew any bad consequences to
follow it. I am therefore glad to find
that your Lordships intends to continue
the use of it for sometime longer, and
if after that further trial, and your pushing
your Journey to London you will honour
me with a further report of what
[Page 2]
has happened I shall certainly exert the
utmost of my judgement and skill for
your Lordships relief.
I have the honour to be with the utmost
respect
My Lord
your Lordships
most obedient and
most humble servant
