Letter from Brodie S. Hull to unknown, 1820, February 2

The medicine you gave me has
removed the complaint, that is the urine is
now perfectly clear and natural as it ought
to be, it became so yesterday morning. I am
very weak across the small of the back and
hips, with some uneasiness internally about
the part effected. Will thank you to inform
me whether I shall continue the use of the
medicine and how long, it keeps the bowels
pretty open, have had to lessen the quan
=tity. For three days after I saw you the com=
plaint increased very much, passed consi=
derable more blood, had quite a thick and
muddy appearance. Please to let me hear
from you by the bearer and you will
much oblige,
