Transcription

Hatton was happy to hear the Charter House chose an apothecary. The hospital will be pleased with ‘The universally approved choice’ and the vacancies will hopefully be filled by qualified persons sometime soon. Charles Hatton was the son of Christopher Hatton, 1st Baron Hatton and brother of Christopher Hatton, 1st Viscount Hatton [Sir Bernard Burke, C.B.
