Reply 'headed To Mr Riddel [in error for Andrew Liddel at Thurso] about Miss Sinclair' reassuring that her condition is not yet consumptive, but urging a journey south to avoid 'a Caithness winter'. Cullen also offers advice on bleeding, diet etc'. The heading which mistakenly has the name as 'Liddel' may be an added note by another hand. Answers Letter ID:913. | 14 September 1774 | |||
