<Cantenac, February 1, 177[8?], in French: I see in the newspapers
that you have communicated a cure for dropsy to the
doctors of Paris, and that they have successfully tested it at the
Invalides. The papers did not explain how much tobacco ash
is needed, or whether it is applied externally or internally. I
should be greatly obliged if you would send this information
to M. Delap.>
