Reply to an unnamed patient, retained as an authorial copy on a loose sheet, and seemingly not bound into volume. Cullen is replying 'to yours of the 18th. inst.' [untraced]. He gives directions for taking portable soup on a ship voyage, and discusses the patient's returning to Jamaica 'with regard to the danger of capture'. Date is merely based on a loose supposition that the risk of capture alludes to being at war with America. | 1776? | |||
