This comes with our Patient
Mrs. Henderson, who turned better again a few days
after the Receipt of Your last Letter of the 3rd. Ultimo, then
went to the Country where She remained for several
Weeks seeming gradually to recover, but the Pain
&c seized her again about ten days since, and Her
Pulse continued still quick as before mentioned,
I need not mention anything particularly about
Her at present as You will be informed exactly
of Her Distress by Herself and likewise by her
Mother Mrs. Walker who accompanies Her-
She has got no Medicine since I wrote You last,
except a little of laxative Electuary, ↑when costive↑ & Tincture
Thebaic when costive ↑when↑ much pained.-
A Number of Her Friends are made to believe that
Her Disorder is connected with her lying in, and for
that Reason would wish Dr. Young to be consulted;
and I suppose Mrs. Walker will converse with You about
that. - I am. with Great Esteem Dear Sir
