The Mary Hamilton Papers
<p style='text-align: justify;'>Letter from William Kerr to John Dickenson. He explains that he has made a resolution not to attend to any new patients in Mr D’s area, and could certainly not do so without causing offence to some of the principal families in the neighbourhood. He does, however, wish to assure Hamilton that when she comes to Northampton and selects a member of the Faculty to attend her in childbirth, he will be willing as a friend to take charge ‘if there is even a Suspicion of Danger or Difficulty in delivering her’. If Dickenson would let them know all their requirements, they will arrange everything as early as possible.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Northampton.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Original reference No. 3.</p>
