Long and Affectionate Autograph Letter signed to an unnamed correspondent
thanking him for his "kindness about the swans, which will look magnificent upon our great lake. But I write to you in great anxiety from what my brother tells me of the new form in which the gout has shown itself. I know you do not like to be importuned about taking medical advice, & you know that anxious as I always am about you I do not often plague you upon that subject, but all grievances of this particular description are sources of so much misery & torment, as well as danger that I cannot help most earnestly entreating you, if not from your own conviction of its necessity, yet at least as a personal favour to myself, to let Copeland see you - you know I daresay that he is in that line as decidedly at the head of his profession as any man of that occupation ever was in any line of the whole catalogue of ills that flesh is heir to & I can speak from personal experience of him, though happily, I thank God for it, not in that way, that you will find him most attentive & pleasing in his manner, if it did not sound ridiculous, I should say attackingly so, & in every respect well fitted to produce in his patients a sincere, & I myself think a really well founded conviction, of his earnest & deep anxiety to make his skill available to their benefits. Do not pass over this entreaty of mine slightly, pray consider it, & pray, pray grant it ...", 4 sides 8vo., Dropmore, September
