Dear Sir
I have Stay'd at Moffat ten weeks; drank the
waters, every day; & Bathed twice a week according to your
Directions. My face & neck are well except, a little Scale
round My Mouth. My Arms are much better, tho not radically
Cured: I have no Itching at present; & Sleep extremely well
I keep Strictly to the rules ↑of↑ Diet, you lay'd down for me
and live in hope, that by so doing, I shall at least, keep the
Complaint under a little Subjection; I shall likewise take
Occasionally the former powders you prescribed.
do me the favor to Accept the three enclosed notes, as a
Small acknowledgment for your kind Directions, and be
persuaded that I remain with true esteem.
Dear Sir
Your obliged
Humble Servant
Eliz. Murray

my eyebrows, as the Moffat water has greed with me
I am enclin'd to drink Harrowgate water at Home, if proper?
