Mrs. Young husband

Sir

I did not answer your last letter because
at the beginning of the College I am kept in much
hurry and because I did not think your letter
required any as Mrs. Young husband seemed to be
going on very well.

I am heartily concerned for what has now
happened to her but I hope that it is an accident
only and that the effects of it are now mellower
and in the mean time I must say that you
have acted with great propriety and if there should
remain any [floory?] upon her mind or nerves you
must palliate them as you have done by Anodyne
either by the mouth or in glyster.

As soon as the effects of this accident are
over I have nothing to advise but her returning

[Page 2]

to the medicines I advised before but I would {illeg}
her exercise so much as I did unless more care can
be taken to avoid cold.

Though I did not answer your former letter
I answer [this?] in Course of post and when it is any
ways necessary I shall always do so With best
[wishes?] and Compliments I am

Sir
your most Obedient Servant

William Cullen --
