Dear Sir
Be so kind as to send me 2 Bottles of enclosed prescription, so that I may keep one up & one down stairs— —1
I want also to have 2 or 3 dozen pills of Morphia in a bottle with good stopper, (as I may never use them) in case of access of severe pain.—
Please mark Bottle, how much each pill contains & after how short. an interval I could take a second pill with safety.—2 I will then show the bottle to Dr Andrew Clark when I next see him.3 I want to have the pills ready in case of access of severe pain which I hope may never occur.
