Mr. Stuart
I am heartily concerned for Mr. Stewarts dis¬
tress and wish with all my heart I could relieve him
but I find it requires more time than he can afford.
I am as much as ever of opinion that there is no
Venereal infection remaining about him and therefore
so far as respects his being in danger of giving infec¬
tion I am persuaded he may take what measures
he may think proper. With respect to the ailment
of the Urethra I believe from the fluctuation of his
account that it is not so bad as I imagined and though
I should not think any Venereal exercise fit for
it yet its not being painful on erection is very
much in his favour. While Mr. Stuart continues
in the West he must continue the injection but
{illeg} he should lay
[Page 2]
that and every other application aside. What he is
to do further I dare not now determine but wishing
him most sincerely a happy deliverance from his
anxiety I am
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
