Mr. Livingstone
I am very {illeg} fit that Parkhall
has been distressed with {illeg}
What may have given occasion to it I cannot judge
and indeed if you who may know every circumstance
cannot find out the cause I certainly cannot but
this I am certain of that the Aperient Solution
could not occasion it for I know it to be for the
most part a cooling medicine. I thought myself
lucky in the thinking of it as a medicine suited to
every circumstance of Mr. Livingstones complaints
and I have no doubt in earnestly desiring him
to return to the use of it. With best wishes &
Compliments to him
I am
