Mr Whyte Concerning Mr John Brodie
I am sorry to find Mr Brodie rather worse, tho I am not
inclined to think that low Spirits, and being apprehensive is a
sign of it. You have said that he has strictly followed my
directions; but you do not say if he has followed them as to
Exercise; and I would earnestly intreat that he should immedia¬
tely set out upon a journey of some length, travelling
between thirty and fifty miles every day; and this I think
will do good to his Stomach and help to push the Gout down
to his feet. -
