Transcription
Yonge thanks Sloane for offering to forward Dr Cyprianus’s letter and asks him for an address. He comments on the work of ‘The Black mayd’ and Dr Charlton’s case ‘of the Leo: man’. James Yonge was a surgeon and physician of Plymouth with experience as a ship’s surgeon. He was a prominent citizen in his native Plymouth and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1702 (Ian Lyle, Yonge, James (16471721), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/30225, accessed 20 May 2011]).
