TitleLetter by unidentified author to W Phipps [later Sir Jonathan Wathen Waller]
Datec1809-1814
DescriptionCall for him to attend to her, as she neither flatters nor lies: Sir Henry Halford naming him to the King, and his enquiring much about him: quoting him as looking upon him as the first man of his profession as an operator, but also respecting his private character, being disinterested, kind-hearted, honourable and true in friendship, his conduct having been perfect, although giving off a false appearance of "coxcomicalness" at first: her going, but stopping to write down Sir Henry's words.
Written Thursday.
Sheet, with half page of text, watermarked 1807.
