July 1782 K. My dear lady Charlotte Finch, I have this instant seen Hawkins who came to give me an account of the letter He had wrote to Mrs/ Chevely wherein He advises to give poor little Alfred all sorts of exercise preferable to that of being carried in Arms. It occured to me that besides that of being drawn in a little Chaise the going on [[underline]] Horse back [[/underline]] would be very efficacious to him, The Postillion You have at Deal Castle who formerly drove us I know to be a very careful Man & if he thinks to be in possession of a quiet Horse I wish it might be tryed, Hawkins is of opinion that twice a Day if the Child could bear it would not be too much, and as of course the Chaise must follow, there will be no risque of his catching Cold by Wet as he by that means will be taken in immediately. I am extremely sorry to find that this dear little Child must still continue suffering, and hope that this four footed Dr/ will prove of great benefit to him. You seem desirous to know something of Williams accident, by the Surjeons account from New York there is reason to hope of his recovering some use of his Arm, nay perhaps entirely as his Youth
