Transcription

Teale saw Major Gower. They exchanged words and Gower gave him something to pass on to Sloane. Teale asks Sloane to pay him a visit when he is nearby. Isaac Teale (d. 1712) was apothecary-general to the army and supervised, along with the army’s physician-general Thomas Lawrence (1655-1714), the provision of medical services during Marlborough’s campaigns in the Netherlands throughout the War of the Spanish Succession (A.
