Transcription
This morn I was surpriz’d with a message from my Uncle Pelham, ye he had turned off Dr. Pellat, and desir’d you would come to him three times a day, when I had never apprehended him in ye least danger. I must begg you would be so good as to attend him as constantly as possible, at least three times every day, and more if necessary. I hope you will excuse this trouble…
