Abstract

A letter from Dr George Fordyce Story to Joseph Benson Mather, from Kelvedon 10 June 1848. Story writes of supplies and parcels sent and received on the Royal William, George and Resolution (ships). He also makes a request to Mather that The Courier (newspaper) run an article on chloroform and its uses, to increase the knowledge of its readers. Story also describes a 'melancholic accident' that took place in Swan Port, in which Ellis the Blacksmith and three other ticket-of-leave men went out in a boat in flood waters, and had not been seen since. From Private Deposits DX20/955
