Before your letter came to hand there was
one had come from Miss [Mady?] Hamilton in answer to
which I had said some Bark might be employed
but did not think it necessary to give a great deal.
You may give the Child a Scruple of of Bark every day
in one or two doses as you may find most convenient
I do not advise going further as I must truly tell.
you that I do not expect a great deal from it.
With Compliments to the family at Duddingstone
and am as always
