[DOC ID:5433]	Reply for 'Mr Campbell of Succoth', to be delivered by him to his surgeon, Alexander ('Saunders') Dunlop. He has 'a moveable tumour in his under Eye lid'. Cullen advises on lotions and ointments to be used, as Mr Campbell is going into the country.	3 April 1787

[DOC ID:3055]	Reply, in the form of a retained authorial draft, for 'Mr Campbell of Succoth'. Cullen regards his complaints as 'purely Catarrhal', and advises on exercise and diet. A mucilage may be prescribed if he does not suffer 'raucedo' (hoarseness) or angina. The symptoms are not those for which Archibald Campbell of Succoth consulted Cullen in 1787, so the identification of the patient â€“ only given in the annotation â€“ and the date remain tentative.	July? 1787?
