Description
Plowden informs Sloane that Mr Manly, his son's schoolmaster, is complying with Sloane's medical regiment. The boy is receiving due attention and care. Plowden did not want to send his son to London for treatment in the fear he might contract smallpox there. He will, however, do whatever Sloane thinks fit. Since he last reported on his son's illness the boy 'has six times bepissed his bed'.
