Martha Sheldon asks me to ask you to tell me what you reported of her brother to Mr Wildgoose.
If he comes to you for more medicine without a note from Mr W., would you kindly charge it to me?
How do you find old Lyddy Prince?
I commend all our pensioners to your kind care.
Will you be kind enough to let me have your Acct at the end of the Quarter, including of course John Bratby & Mrs Holmes.
Lizzie Holmes has been suffering severely from her cough. Could any thing more be done for her?
Wonderful to state, I have, I believe, persuaded Jane Allison to go to Manchester if her nephew, to whom I have written, will have her. She gives up her house.
Pray let me thank you again for all your considerate & skilful care: I wish you Goodbye & God speed with all my heart :
& in great haste believe me ever sincerely yrs
