John Douglas was unable to wait on James Petiver but assures him that he will do whatever he can to oblige him in whatever he desires. John Douglas was a surgeon famous after 1719 for his method of removing stones. He published a book elucidating the procedure in 1720 and was appointed surgeon to Westminster Hospital in 1721 (Michael Bevan, Douglas, John (d. 1743), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7907, accessed 18 July 2013]).
