Dear Dr. Clouston,—You do me great honor by asking me to speak a word in your favour to assist you to obtain the now vacant office of Medical Superintendent to the County Asylum at Manchester. Let me say that, in the cause of the poor patients of that Institution, I most earnestly hope you may obtain this post.
