Transcription
Barwick relates that ‘mony is so scarce in these partes’ he has fallen into debt in London. The Duchess of Newcastle came to visit her daughter, the Duchess of Albemarle. Lady Thanet was visiting as well. Peter Barwick (1619-1705) was a physician. He served Charles II in 1651 and was censor of the College of Physicians in 1674, 1684, and 1687. Sir Hans Sloane was one of the executors of Barwick’s will (Peter Elmer, ‘Barwick, Peter (1619–1705)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/1614, accessed 9 July 2014]).
