  • Scope and Content
    Much about Polwarth's health, he is quite ill for a time. [149] "We must rely on Providence alone, for in our present situation we seem thrown out of all human help, and yet I ought to be thankful that matters are not worse." [132] "The doctors I suppose will never allow that they mistook either his case or the climate when they ordered him here, but I will forgive them all, so they are satisfied with one experiment, and do not harass either the sick or the well any more." Effect of war. [138] "Whatever be our future lot, I really hope I shall not be left again at such a distance from my friends and from all advice, either as to physicians or as to any other kind of management." Doctors: Robertson with them (ill); Fordyce trusted by Polwarth.
