Transcription
Yonge sends the ‘History’ Sloane requested, along with the patient’s hair, bone, and membrane. Some hair found in a woman’s belly is also included, which is to be forwarded to Dr Tyson. Yonge would like to know why his name is not in the latest Philosophical Transactions. 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]).
