Description
Young is very concerned about the health of his friend Finley. He has asked his own personal doctor, Dr. Rhodes, to provide medical advice in the letter, which he does. The doctor advises Finley to avoid tight clothing, avoid heat & cold, continue using calomel, and eat a diet of dry vegetables. After Dr. Rhodes' "prescription", Young adds his own. He advises Finley to do no temporal business, to forget about the Mission temporarily, to have no company, to wait several months before going into a congregation, to cast all cares and afflictions upon God, and to spend a great deal of time praying and believing.
