my plan, I desired them to say what the eruption was. They 

 holh imnudiately declared it to be the chicken-pox. I de- 

 sired the nurse to take the child in the course of the day to 

 Dr. \Valshn)an, who was to know nothing about what was 

 going on. He declared the same thing. Mr. Foster, Mr. 

 Key, and other respectable surgeons, saw the child; and, I 

 believe, never saw a more well marked case of chicken-|)ox. 



In consequence of Mrs. Vaughan's copies of my note, 

 first came (as was expected) Mr. Lipscombe. Mrs. V.'s 

 father kijew Mr. Lipscombe at Warwick. He declared 

 that it was not the small-pooc ; but that he had no doubt 

 Dr. Moselcy and Mr. Birch would say so. He was per- 

 fectly right, they said so sure enough ; but they were not 

 quite clear about it the first time they saw the child, while 

 any one else might have judged of the disease ; but when 

 the spots had waned so that it was impossible any one, who 

 might not have seen the child before, could judge what it 

 had been — then indeed they grew bolder, and would have 

 taken their oaths it was the small- pox. 



Now, Mr. Editor, I wish to know who the other medi- 

 cal men are, who saw my little patient in the small- pox, 

 besides Mr. Lipscombe, and particularly if Dr. Moselev and 

 Mr. Birch are among them. I wish also to know who this 

 Mr. Lipscombe is ; and if he has any other wicked propen- 

 sities, besides this unmanly talent of frightening women, 

 and men like women. You, sir, I observe, wish to brine; 

 the question of vaccination to an issue. — When you balance 

 the account, pray do let this statement of facts go for its 

 £uil weight. I remain, sir, yours, &c.
