Reply, 'To Lady Lochart', with directions for her elder daughter Miss Lockhart, who is suffering from blood-spitting and whose menses have ceased. Cullen recommends bleeding from the ankles, bathing, and rubbing her feet and legs with flannel or a flesh brush. He gives a recipe for a decoction. He sends greetings to the Misses Porterfield, presumably some of Lady Lockhart's nieces. | 30 October 1775 | |||
