Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn

Cataract operations best performed in warm weather, when the patient is less likely to catch cold. Only schoolfriends he is aware of as still living are the Marquis of Anglesey (Henry William Paget) and Sir George Murray (sic - unclear who this is, but possibly, according to Hugh Pagan, Sir William Murray, brother of Sir John Murray - see also 6 ). Death last year of Sir Francis Burdett (actually January 1844) because he had given himself up to the 'cold water system'; he was always a dupe of charlatans. On the current heatwave and railroads.

Clavering, Henry Mordaunt, 1766-1850
