Dear Doctor
Mr Towers will give you
more full information about Mr. Donald
than I can. I therefore refer you to
him, & only add that He takes no Medi¬
cine but the Chalybeate powder & now &
then a very moderate Dose of Pul. Jal. comp.
He eats with Appetite & goes out daily
in the Coach -- A jaunt has been
talked of but not particularly, aeither as
to distance or other object -- your Senti¬
ments will be expected by Mr Towers when
He returns -- I am Dear Doctor
Yours &c &c
