Nathaniel Wallich, [Calcutta], to William Carey, Serampore, undated.

My dear Sir,

         I have just in this moment got a patient with the beginning Hydrophobia, and I wish to give [a] great dose of Calomel. But, as I have but very little remaining of the quantity of Calomel which I have left, I beg the favor of you to leave me seom few drachmae.

         Excuse this liberty I take and believe

                     I am for ever

                                 Yours very truly

                                             [Nathaniel Wallich]

Address: To the Revd | Mr Carey
