hon.ble S.r
This day I was to wait on you, between nine
and ten in the Morning, and I understood that
you went out at eight. Since that I called
between Eleven and twelve at old Man’s; where
about Eleven you did call, before I came.
I had been glad to have had a short conference
with you, but for this time I am disapointed;
however S.r I hope I am not out of yr Thoughe,
and though the Common Report maketh The
Contagion Bill somewhat severe, I am resolved
to submit to what Regulations, The King
and parliament, or King and Council, with
The wise advice of y.r self and other
select physicians, shall determine Mrs. Wagener
who liveth in Jermyn Street, over against Berry
or Duke street end S.t James, is the patient who
produced that Fungous excrescence you have by
you. She hath one son, viz. Colonel Lloyd of
The Guards. what I set down in this Letter
is not to publish her name to the world; but onely
to intimate, that That Gentlewoman, will at any time
when the Question is asked by a Physician, confirme
what I have printed, or written upon the Labels relating
to her case. This S.r I hope will be fully satisfactory
to you, as to the Truth and Genuiness of That product, and the person from whom it came.
S.r Hans I wish you and y.r Lady and good Family, a happy new year and a numerous repitition of The Like, being with all due Respect Hon.ble S.r y.r Faithfull and most obedient servant Phil. Rose. Jan. 8. 1721/2
Philip Rose was admitted a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1691. In 1728 he was forgiven 12 pounds owed to the College (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/3854).
