[DOC ID:1197] |
Letter, or more specifically an unsigned document possibly sent as an enclosure, titled 'The Case of the Right Honble. The Lord Bellhaven' [John Hamilton]. Previously healthy, but he has 'for several years past [...] been often Valetudinary and under various Ailments', which the unnamed writer believes to arise from 'a gouty humour in his blood'. Dating is a guess based on an internal reference to Spring 1756, and up 'to the month of January this year', but it could well have been penned much later than 1757 (but not before 1764, when he died). No evidence of authorship or posting but categorised as an incoming document for purposes of database collation. | 1757? | |||
