| Description Of Item | He thanks Cullen for his introduction to Robert Burton, MP for Wendover. While dining with him he met Captain Bickerton who had been a patient of Cullen's and also offered his services. He asks if Cullen could continue to recommend him as he now has a wife to support. She is the daughter of Robert Godby, steward to Lord Sandwich so he feels certain of his lordship's support. He has heard of the death of Dr Hope and would have proposed himself for the chair of botany if Thomas Hope, Hope's son, were not also applying. In index. |
