Lancaster 6mo: 6th 1760
Esteemed Friend
My writing to thee at this time is occasioned by the psinful case of a poor young woman that is in the town at present (it has been about 6 months) under the doctor's care in order to be cured of an ulcer in her side but as her case proves more difficult than was at first expected 'tis fear d it will be too hard for the doctors here and doctr Charles Moore being so kind in his return from Hempfield as to call [?] see her. [Y] after hearing her case a little intimated that the likelyest way of procuring relief was by being in your hospital which has made her desirous of going down if she could be admitted. Now Dear Friend, my request is that thou would lend thy assisting hand.
She is a young woman that has livd some time with our Friend in[?] Churchman & latter by has inclind to go to Friends Meetings for which [Y] some other things as her [dress] speech [?] has set her relations much against her. They being mostly Presbyterians, her Father & Mother died when young. So that I soubt not but if her case was thoroughly known to Friends [?] would not suffer for want of a small assistance. Her conduct of patient behaviour while here has been very satisfactory. I believe if she was so favourd as to be addmitted it would be very pleasing to sundry Friends at Nottingham as well as here. Please to excuse this freedom in writing on this [acco?] [?] if thou'rt pleasd to assisttin the case should be glad she might come down in 2 or 3 weeks, if it's approved of by thou
Concerened. I am thy assured Friend. Isaac Whitelock
