Transcription

Plumptre writes that the bearer John Creswell will deliver something as soon as convenient. Henry Plumptre (bap. 1680, d. 1746) took an active role in the Royal College of Physicians, eventually serving as its President from 1740 to 1754. He published medical treatises and worked very hard on the Pharmacopoeia Londinensis (A. F. Pollard, Plumptre, Henry (bap. 1680, d. 1746), rev.
