My dear Baron,
Some time ago we were shown a printed slip of "Directions" for using your remedy for
Snake bite, and we have endeavoured to obtain the apparatus complete for some of our
Surveyors who are in snaky country, but the Chemists do not appear to keep it. Will
you have the goodness to inform me where the mixture & printed directions for using
the same can be procured.
I am, my dear Baron
Yours faithfully
Robt Watson
