As’to his Grace ye Duke of Buckinghams comission, I have small hopes of rendring him yt service I coud wish. there has been but 3 statues (or rather Busts) bought here this 20 years past. some few there are now in o’r nations hands, but so deformed yr I wou’d not pay ye freight home to have them. they are rarely found in these parts, & as surely defac’d as dug up. As to naturall History this country affords diversion in all ye parts of it, somethings I find are to be met wth wch have escap’d Dr Tourneforts diligent search, tho had he been here in ye proper season, probably he wou’d have met with them. By ye Delawar (wch will sail in 3 weeks) I shall send you some plants in a box directed to Mr. Petiver. Pray dispose of some of My Rays supplements for me if you find occasion; one was for ye Dutchesse of Beaufort, who probably may have it before this.

    Name: Rev. Joseph Hill
    Gender:
    Age:
  • Description

    Relapse of old ailment, which he had for five years. Every spring and autumn, suffered from an eruption and inflammation in neck, groin, arms. Shedding some skin. Before ailment first started, occasionally had a small itch on his arms and hands after a violent bout of smallpox twelve years ago. When he did not have the affliction, he was healthy, though with weak knees. He ate well and avoided flesh.

  • Diagnosis

    Patient attributed current problems to a sore on his calf after the smallpox, as both exuded a similar humour.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    He was cured of the calf sore only after approximately twenty purges. He also bathed at St. David's which he thought did him good though his affliction returned right after.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    He has taken frequent calomel purges and large quantities of Atheops mineral and antimony. He also spent a season at Bath under the care of Dr. Cheyne who prescribed calomel etc.


    Response:

    The above medicines did him no good. Wanted to know if cold bathing would be useful as he lived on the banks of a river.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    His brother consulted a Dr. Cheyne who advised against bathing in the Bath waters. However, his brother defied him much to his benefit. Thomas noted that his brother had epileptic fits as a child.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    L. Delafaye bathed and drank the Bath waters to relieve constriction and pain in the joints of his hands, arms and legs. He also suffered from gout and took a "trimming diet." On f. 60v, there is a prescription in Sloane's hand for a decoction of milk.


    Response:

    The waters have lengthened his legs a bit so that his crutches were too short. However, the cure was not perfect. His brother had asked Thomas to convey his concerns that his condition would worsen and requested that he ask Sloane how to prevent it. Thomas also noted that his brother's knuckles were splitting and becoming flattened.

  • Description
  • Diagnosis

    Crippled legs and gout. He also noted a white patch above his ankle which was present before he started treatment and so cannot be due to that. He also noted that his joints are swollen in his hands.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:
    Ongoing Treatment:

    He took the waters at Bath, bathing in them daily, owing to the inability to fully extend his legs. He had no pain unless he forced his legs to uncurl, but suffered from gout. He read a dissertation on the various Bath waters by a Dr. Oliver and therefore eschewed the "intense heat" of the King's Bath in favour of the Cross Baths. This made his blood less thin, despite his diet which contained no red meat. He wondered if he should rub linseed oil into limbs. He complained that he cannot go abroad because he cannot sit in a [sedan] chair unless it was specially made to suit his condition.


    Response:

    He was still unable to fully extend his limbs and it still hurt to try. He still had pain from gout. He noted that he met an "old French clergyman" who told him of Sloane's electuary that had soothed his limbs.

At the end of the letter there is mention of a parcel that he sent to [illegible] ‘fell into the hands of Pirates’. He found out that the parcel was gone from a letter from Mr Catesby sent to his uncle who is Dale’s neighbor. Samuel Dale was an apothecary, botanist, and physician who contributed several articles to the Philosophical Transactions. He was John Ray’s executor and good friend, and from Dale’s letters to Sloane we learn many details of Ray’s final moments (G. S. Boulger, Dale, Samuel (bap. 1659, d. 1739), rev.

Richardson is glad that the Royal Society liked the designs; he expresses his desire to hear if the samples, ‘Coale plants’, he had sent arrived safely and discusses rare northern plants. He writes that he has saved some irregular plants from Mr Priestly, which he will pass on to Sloane.

Richardson was a physician and botanist who traveled widely in England, Wales, and Scotland in search of rare specimens. He corresponded and exchanged plants with many well-known botanists and naturalists (W. P. Courtney, Richardson, Richard (16631741), rev.
