Mr. Fox's Book

Royal Hospital,-Chelsea, Nor. 4, tEt

DEAR Sta HENRY,.
I should have .answered 'your letter sooner, but
wished to see Mr. Trotter's Book, which I obtained
only yesterday afternoon., ,„ • .
In my opinion his reveries concerning Mr. Fox,
do not. deserve any notice from us. But as the
Friends ijf that illustrious ch.,ratter may bz desirous
that We ;irevent the public beilig imposed.on
by Mr. Trotter's mischievous asseitions, I have ex-
amined my journal (for I kept a
,v-cry minute one)
of Mr. Fox's last illness 3 and have ascertained that
he never took digitalis in any vertu whatever.
yon must recoiled, whoe' et- it was that proposed
digitalis, Dr. Pitcairn, you, and myself knew., too
well the Stale 'of Mr. -Fort's stomach; to.. think cif
giving it to him.
.15Arrita are perfectly cotreet in your recolleaton,„
that we ab,Lidoned all hops of a ewe, soon -atter
thetirst operation of tapping—i-aodts!al.aftei the se-
cond we 'had Tecourse only; to cordials of various
,kinds, to support his fast sinking powers..as long as
.was potiticable, . and to enable his dreadfully weak
stomach. to nobeishment. -. Mr. Trotter has
gone much out of his way,- and arrogates to himself
a great deal niore -than he. is- entitled to, concerning
Mr: Fox's illness. And, think, he would. base
'sbewn mere-prudence if he had altogether suppressed'
the tragic struggles he had in giving,, what he ro-
mantically fancied (page 459). to be "the fatal. medi-
cine"- that ticeeleraied M. Fox's death,--which
" fatal medicine'' 'you, Mr.Tegart, and I, know,ex-
isted only in his own- ihavginattou. But supposing
we lied really prescribed' digital,i'S for- Mr Fox, is it
modest—A-is it liberal, in a yotlig Mali in Mr. Trot-
ter's situation to slander us tor it ?
His duty was; to have given. whatever was ordered
by-the -Physicians, He cqtald be tici judge of the
matter ; and the delays, that some peopic Would
have :thought criminal," which he ~.coniesses he
Grade;' in giving Mr. Vox the medicine we dire Bed,
on his presumptuous surmise, that it, seas digitalis,
shews.hciw ill placed our confidence was in, him ;
and 'gives rise to the painful reflection,- that tins
mightlint have been ale Only instance of his cul-
pability towards us, ,as well- as. towards his dying
Wren. 'Mr. Trotter's inaccuracies ale, in many

that 3000. men more were encamped in the vicinity
of Haro, I was obliged to Abandon my expedition,
and changing my intentions. I took my route to
Atlavan. In the mean ttme Cal.nelli, Tubetiot and
