[DOC ID:5936] |
Letter from Gilbert Steuart, concerning Mr Hampton, a patient working in trade in Birmingham, 'which he pursues with unwearied attention to the Prejudice of his Health and sometimes the Disquietude of his Mind', who has been suffering from indigestion, confusion of thoughts and dry, parched skin for some time. Date is open to dispute: the date of the top of the first page could be read as a "1" (with a flourish to underline), though it also might be a "2". But since 1761 appears as an annotation(?) mid-way through the document this date has been tentatively recorded in this database. | 29 April 1761? | |||
