Abstract

A draft of Dr Story's 'memorial' requesting financial help from the Government. The memorial describes the difficulties Story experienced in his previous appointments, including treating convicts and military personnel who had suffered attacks from Aborigines, and frequent travel in unsafe areas where Aborigines 'lurked amongst the trees'. The memorial provides a detailed summary of Dr Story's career until 1848. From Cotton Family Papers C7/51
