Mr Robert Chisholm
Have patience & hope for better days. By degrees you
will get the better of all your complaints. However you may
take measures to hasten your recovery. Your journey to Bath
will do service, & the bathing will probably be useful, but
I doubt if drinking the waters will be safe. Indeed in case
you complain of your breast, you must {illeg} (↑measure↑) both
the bathing & the drinking with great caution.
