For Mr Gardiner.
Mr Wood & I both glad he is so well, as long as the present
sore neither pains nor spreads, nothing to be done. & particularly
not a subject for the knife. If it should pain or spread, may be
cured by applications, but wish to see it before we advise.
Right to continue his medications.
