Your conduct of our patient hitherto
I am much satisfied with, and particularly
in Inoculation and Weaning, and your
precautions against an insidious disease
seem to have been very wise and proper
I dare not trust to its being eradicated
but I think we may look on for a little
and in a Woman seemingly in good
health and especially after having so
lately weaned her Child I would not
enter upon any strong measures, but
if suspicious symptoms should appear
it would be proper to take measures
that might give security and I shall be
ready upon such occasion to give my opinion
and Advice. I am with great regard
Dear Sir
Your most Obedient Servant
