Dr E. Carmikle

Drs

When I saw you I entended to
have written to you by the last Fridays mail
but as I could perceive no difference in th situation
of my complaint, I deemed it unnessary to write
to you as soon = I have since I saw you continued
to take the pills (according to your prescription) until
Tuesday last when my mouth became a little sore
[unclear] tok one that night and another next morning,
have not taken any since, but shall commence again
as soon as my mouth gets well = The ointment
I have likewise applyed in the manner
you directed, on the sores, on the end of the penis
which look I think a little be The skin I have not
been able to get back yet; perhaps, not as far as
when you saw it; though I have applyed the oint
ment and the caustic to it as well as I could =
The sores on the outside matter very freely; and
so has the other until about two days ago when it
stopped and has since that time looked very dry

to write to me immediately and be very pariculer
in directing me how to prosede - direct your
letter to Malfarm P office

Yours &c
