Inclosed you have my melancholy Case described by Dr Douglas
in Kelso, a melancholy Case it undoubtedly is so that Dr Cullen
would pity me to the utmost was he witness to half the Agony I just
now endure- I have been troublesome to you on some former
Occasions, but absolute Necessity forces me to apply to you again,
hoping for your compassionate advice to be sent to Dr Douglas
as desired, I am the more ashamed to put to you the present
trouble as you have generously given your advice without
any fee or reward. Though my life is of little consequence
to the public yet it is of some small use to some of my poor
relations to whom I would wish to do what good I can.
My usual pain and Agony will not allow me to write any
more and therefore beg leave to subscribe my self
Sir -- your most grateful and
much obliged Servant
