1769- Jgy^ and my promife, I have fent you 
the wonderful cuticular glove, which I fliew^d you,, 
when I had the pleafure of your company here. The 
hiftory of the cafe, which, I believe, has no precedent,, 
is taken from the gentleman’s own relation of it to- 
me in writing, without varying his fenfe ; and con- 
firmed by Mr. Swallow, a furgeon of character at. 
Watton, whofe fon, I know, was under your tuition.

with whom I took an opportunity of having a parti-

be able to fpeak with 'the more authenticity. Mr. 
Swallow has now one of thefe gloves in his pofiefiion,, 
the gentleman himfelf has another, and feveral he has- 
given to the curious : yet fome have been fo fceptical
