Thomas Beddoes to Davies Giddy, 29 June 1807

Dear Giddy

I sh^d imagine that y^r feverish lassitude w^d easily be removed by some aperient as under taken once or at the interval of a few days a 2^nd time – You can scarce require bleeding though it might rise to that – no wine & a generally cool regime for a few days –

yr^s truly

Thomas Beddoes

I am sorry my friends did not cut a better figure in the division
