Dear Sir

When I wrote you last we flatter'd ourselves that my Wifes swelling
was decreasing pretty fast and would soon be carried off
but sence it appears to Increase for several days, and for several
days again it will Increase decrease tho it has never been
worse than when she saw you It appears to be obstinate
and hard to remove. She has taken all the powder Regarly
except 3 which she has taken one a week for three weeks
past It seems she is nearly six month advanced in preg
nancy. We shall be glad of your further assistance. Whether
we shall make a Tryal of the dire Drink or any thing else
you think most Adviseable

I am Sir Respectfully y.r Mo Ob'd Svt

Rob Scott.
