Directions 'For Mr McNeil' of Carskiey in the form of a very neat, autograph document. This is almost certainly the original of the case-book retention ([DOC ID:3757]), which McNeil sent back to Cullen as an enclosure with ([DOC ID:936]), as a reminder. This is a rare example where an original set of directions as delivered to a patient has returned to the archive allowing us to compare it with the case-book transcript. Carskiey is linked as the document's inferred, original destination. | 14 April 1774 | |||
