CreatorRoche; Daniel de la (1743-1812); Swiss physician and botanist
RecipientBlagden: Sir Charles (bap.1748 d.1820); British physician and secretary of the Royal Society
Date11 October 1770
DescriptionBlagden will be surprised at receiving another letter from De la Roche, still in London. He was unable to find a copy of [William] Cullen's 'Synopsis' as promised, but hopes to send it tomorrow with a copy of [Louis] Odier's thesis. He reflects on Blagden's comment on medicine being a debased profession. He forwards a letter from his cousin Peter [Pierre], who has various enquiries in order to get an opening in business {MS/821/1/20]. Daniel would be happy if Peter could settle near Blagden in Gloucester. He has no other news, but will write from Paris.
