Letter from Miss Fraser of Inverallochy, concerning her own case which is dated 'September 80', while the annotation has 'November' which implies the date this document was delivered to Cullen (context implies that it was probably forwarded by the patient's local physician Dr Skene). It has been entered in the database as 'September' as the time of writing and to ensure it appears as the first document in this case. | September 1780 | |||
