Abstract

An article on Dr George Fordyce Story, written some time after his death in 1885 by EO Cotton and published in the Mercury. Cotton copies two of Story's letters in this article, the first written in 1813 when he was still in school, and the second (undated) while working and living in Tasmania. The second letter details some of the difficulties of Story's situation as district assistant surgeon in Great Swanport (Swansea), and highlights the poor pay he received. Cotton also describes Story's death and burial site. From Private Deposits M19/81
