Reply to Mr Walker concerning Lady H. Douglas, one of Lord Selkirk's family, of whose recovery Cullen seems confident. She has injured her head but Cullen does not believe there to be any fracture or effusion, rather 'purely a case of concussion, the effects of which I have seen both violent and of long continuance'. | 11 October 1782 | |||
