Letter from George Banks to unknown, 1820, January 27

I have anxiously expected you for [ ]
days. I hope that you will be able to
come out this morning. I think it impor-
tant that you should see Mrs. B. She
is extremely weak and frequently agitated. She
has such high confidence in you that your
presets alone would lend greatly to tran-
quilise her feelings—you may perhaps
find it necessary to vary your prescrip
-tion in some degree after seeing her. —
