Summary:
Sorry to hear of Smith's bad cold though but glad she unwittingly provided a remedy in her last letter [mutton suet boiled in milk taken morning and night]. Her gardener recovered in last three days, he does not think he has had night sweats, shocked to see "a strong healthy person so shrunk in the space of a week" and feared terminal decline. Smith correct that the powders "certainly tend to cure those sorts of fatal sweats".
