| Description | Has had a melancholy account of his "poor Peggy bach" which is sufficiently afflicting to him. By her own letter and what his sister-in-law wrote to John Wynn, he guessed she had only a spice of the scurvy which he hopedthe spring would have soon carried off. Would to God he were with her. Will make all haste possible. Has taken the first coach he could find, which is next Thursday, and from Whitchurch he designs to go direct to Bodewryd. In the meantime he has consulted both the Bishop of Norwich and Sir Thos. Millington and both agree she has the scurvy and rheumatism. Sends enclosed the Bishop's letter and the rhubarb and powder he mentions.
Also sends Sir Thos. Millington's prescription, and so that no time may be lost he has sent a copy to Ruthin to order the things prescribed to be sent forthwith to his sister-in-law. The letting of blood was good and if the pricking pain returns, ought to be repeated again. Hopes Robert Foulks is with his sister-in-law; knows he is very skilful in rheumatism and has done wonderful cures in it. God knows that he does not in the least doubt his sister-in-law's love and care for his child. |
