Transcription

Fol. 191 [father’s sudden change, please come] [P.S.] My Lord is lethargick and a high fever upon him. Lord and Lady Lymington are here with me and our concerns are inexpressible.

This letter is written by either Charles Bennet, 1st Earl of Tankerville (1674-1722), Charles Bennet, 2nd Earl of Tankerville (1697-1753), or Charles Bennet, 3rd Earl of Tankerville (1716-1767) depending on the date. The same goes for the patient.
