[DOC ID:2174]  |
Letter from Alexander Taylor, concerning the cases of the brothers James and William Orr. James has pain in the side, and has been coughing up bloody pus: 'I see it mentioned in your Practice that abcesses of the liver are sometimes expectorated but I do not understand this'. William's eyes are improving. He reports on the post-mortem dissection of the minister, Mr Hamilton. He also notes that 'After you left Paisley I found you had not been paid your fee', and discussed this with the Hamiltons and with Cullen's old friend Rev. Davidson of Inchinnan, whose father Cullen had attended. | 16 March 1782 | |||
