| Description | Describes sister’s reaction to her husband’s death and relates progress of his illness. Refers to Christian faith. Asks Richardson to provide an endorsement of Dr Bonsfield’s reference for an [unnamed, possibly Charles] uncle of Mr Rawnsley, a clergyman of Spilsby: the uncle seeks to practise medicine in Aberdeen after returning from India having practised there as a physican for many years, and he wishes to get an M.D. from Aberdeen, for which he needs the signatures of two physicians who had graduated there; as Dr Bonsfield had not graduated there, it was thought that a testimonial from a "Physician of Ability" in support of Bonsfield: a letter from Aberdeen will probably come to Richardson. Franklin thinks he will stay in Harrington for the rest of the week. PS: no reply from Baillie about stores.
Letter black-edged. |
