I promised from the Road to give you an
account of your Patient she apears to me
to be much better than when we left Edenburgh
we at first went two stages a day but since
we came into England we have gone three we
are never out till after nine in the morning not
after seven at night -- Mrs Ogilvy Coughs much
less and hardly any when in the Chaise she sleeps
better and has had only 3 nights any thing of
the shortness of Breath, and then to no great

but she still often complains of a little uneasy¬

four days up on our Road to London and I

us to do ----- there is one thing which perhaps

my Lord Honnest Man is not so well as I cou'd
wish him - he has had an Inflamation in his Eyes
and I do not think he seems in very good spirits
Lady Hopeton was confined to her Room so
we only saw my Lord and good Lady Charlotte
Erskine - We have had remarkable warm weather
for some days past - at passing of Carlisle
I wished to have seen the Senhouses's but I
thought it better at present not to go to
a private House with Mrs Ogilvy as we
can answer better for one time and that
we have every thing to our mind in an inn -
We wished much to see the Lancashire Witches ¹ .
Mrs Ogilvy said she woud give any thing for
a fair. We were in good luck for we met

with one in Preston and another at Manchester
and we both agreed we never had seen so many
pretty Woeman - My pen is bad indeed and I
am sleepy so I must only beg Dr Cullens excuse
for this trouble beg to hear from him and
with best Compliments to Mrs Cullens Mr & Miss
Cullens and Mrs Ogilvies best Compliments to
Dr Cullen beg he will believe me to be with
reguard his Obliged &c
