Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Lucas, sent from Ely. Thanks for venison. Son Philip is to make an excursion to London to perform the marriage ceremony for Reginald Cocks and Mrs Joseph Yorke's sister [Reginald Cocks married Anne Cocks, sister of Catherine Yorke, nee Cocks].

2 Dec 1802

From: 1802 To: 1802

Mention of Dr Gooch, aged 75, who was thought for 2 days to be dying of 'a mortification on his leg' but is now recovering due to the skill of Sir Isaac Pennington and the powers of bark and red wine. The Bishop has taken under his wing a Mr Jones on the recommendation of the Bishop of Lincoln. Lady Mary Mordaunt has given Jones her patronage, and the writer enquires if Lady Lucas knows of her, and if credit can be given to her word respecting Jones.
