Transcription
Yonge had a drink with Cadogan and was pleased to hear that Sloane remembers him. He congratulates Sloane on having married his daughter to an honourable person. Yonge hopes Sloane can forgive his shaky hand, which he blames on ‘infirmity’. 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]).
