Letter, [an unposted draft?] addressed to Dr [Alexander] Monro senior in Cullen's handwriting, concerning a joint consultation over the cases of Captain Reid and Mrs Reid, with advice on a regimen. Monro's name appears at the close, but it appears that this document is a retained copy of what Cullen wrote to Monro after discussing the Reids in person (he refers to 'our conversation'). Date inferred (Monro died in 1767 and Cullen tended to retain more of such drafts in the 1760s). | 1765? | |||
