Reply, 'For Mrs Murdoch'. Mrs Murdoch suffers from colics, which Cullen does not believe to be gravellish in origin. He recommends journeys and laxatives. The prescription included is in Cullen's own hand. The patient is probably Amelia Campbell, the third wife of Provost George Murdoch, with whom Cullen had long-standing links; she had been attended by Mollison (Port Glasgow). Judging by other letters concerning her, the recipient may be Alexander Stevenson. | 24 May 1783 | |||
