Reply 'To Mr Gillespie' concerning the case of Lord Cassilis, whose situation has not improved since Cullen paid a recent professional visit to him at Culzean ['Cullean'] Castle. Cullen adds a reminder of his request for 'a copy of the paper I wrote at Cullean'. Gillespie eventually sent a copy of Cullen's 'paper' which is now ID:1169. Cullen also expresses surprise that Gillespie has not mentioned the progress of a Mr Blair. This letter was sent to Gillespie at either Ayr or Culzean Castle. | 6 October 1775 | |||
