Mr Shanks
I received yours with two Notes inclosed and
think it my duty to acknowledge this though I have
nothing more to say but that your bleeding has been
very proper and I hope your Emetic will be as
much so. I am sorry your own complaints continue
but I hope it shall not be long. I am
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
