Reply, 'Mrs & Miss Ward'. Cullen gives some recommendations but suggests she is ultimately 'not a case for physic', and that while some measures may be taken to exercise her intellect, 'the proper measures are not suitable to the lenity of parents and who else could execute them I don't know'. Also includes directions for Mrs Ward's skin condition. | 7 July 1781 | |||
