Reply to 'Dear Robert' [?}, evidently a medical professional, concerning 'a patient of yours Mr Stewart of Cumbernauld' (named on the recipe as 'The Revd. Mr Stewart'), who is advised to undertake 'sweating' for his 'rheumatic' condition. Cullen seems to have seen the patient in person. Cullen's use of the first-name suggests a degree of personal friendship with the addressee. | 27 May 1783 | |||
