Mr Buist.
I am much disappointed in the Cuprum Ammonia[cum]
[i]n doing no service to Mr. Buists son. Though it
[se]ems to have operated very properly, in my last
[to] Mr. Buist I desired it to be laid aside. As the
[B]ark seems to be of some service I am clear that
[y]ou should continue the use of it and in as large
[qu]antity as you can get the Boy to take it. I would
[ha]ve you to join with it the Limatura martis preparation
but for this purpose the whole must be made into an
[E]lectuary and you may put two drams of the limatura
to every Ounce of Bark and to give the Electuary
{illeg} proper consistence you must put some Conserve
of Roses. If you can learn him to take the Electuary
{illeg} you may get him to take it easily
enough.
