Inscriptions

Cambridge, September 6, 1800.

Dear Sir,

I have only time to say that I have received your second letter and that I will accomodate you with the "matter," etc., at the same pay which has been offered to me, but I declined, namely, for One Quarter of the profit arising from the inoculation, and the contract to remain for 14 months from this time. Abandon the idea of inoculating for small pox and throw all your attention to the Kine Pox. If this idea suits you and Dr. Cutter, you shall be accomodated at once, for half a dozen practitioners stand ready to jump at that offer, and two of them are not a very great distance from you.

In haste, I am. Yours, etc. Benjamin Waterhouse.

P.S. Sam B.2 is in a fair way of being hooted out of Boston.
