Intact red seal. It is possible that this was a summons to discuss the Queen’s health, given that it specified him as a royal physician in the address and Malthus was the apothecary at Windsor Castle.
Daniel Malthus (1651-1717) served as apothecary to Queen Anne and George I and was the great-grandfather of the political economist and demographer Thomas Robert Malthus (J. M. Pullen, ‘Malthus, (Thomas) Robert (1766–1834)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/17902, accessed 7 July 2014]).
