Mr Duguid
I am happy to find that matters are
no worse with you but not much surprized to find the
swelling and hardness little diminished for such ailments
are generally slow in discussing but I hope that in in time
yours will yield entirely. In the meantime I have nothing
to say but to bid you continue your lotion at least every
second night and continue your bandage as you do all day.
When anything new occurrs to you let me know and
you may depend upon the most faithfull attention from
your most obedient servant
