Description
André MORELLET (1727–1819). Autograph letter, Monday the 13th, to a ‘most dear and most respectable colleague’; 1 page, in-8 (one edge torn, with loss of a few letters and words).
In the name of his ‘long-standing and kind friendship’, he asks his colleague to suggest a day of the week when he might bring him ‘a young girl employed by my servant, in whom I take a great interest, so that you may examine her knee; a skilled practitioner has already said that she has developed an exostosis’…
On the reverse, the doctor has written up his consultation, concluding that the thigh should be amputated.
