Pray give my humble Respects to Sr. Hans & assure him I shall esteem this as a favour done to Sr. yr. very much Obliged Servant to Command Geo: Vertue Monday Evening July [of?]: 1728

It appears that Vertue refers to the patient as, ‘the bearet’ however; the original text is difficult to read so this cannot be confirmed.
