Mr Meason's Compliments to Dr Cullen he takes the
liberty to send him a letter he has just now received
from Lady Dumfries about Sandy Craufurd, on which
he begs his opinion that he may lay it before
Some of his friends that we may resolve what to do
with him, & undoubtedly Dr Cullens advice will be
regularly followed whatever way he thinks he shuld
be treat. Lady Dumfries is very good in offering to
keep him there but he is afraid that is not the
Climate for him --
