James Winchester Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 A note accompanied a jar of herbs and a bottle of syrup. Lord William Cavendish17 Piccadilly My Lord, It was a pleasure to meet you and your kinsmen, however briefly, at Church yesterday. Please accept my apologies for any undue attention, as a physician it is my calling to help those that I may. Please find enclosed a jar of herbal Tea, which will help soothe a dry cough, and a bottle of Syrop which will aid in the loosening of a chesty cough and the expulsion of the accumulated phelgm. I would recommend using the syrup, which will cause a clearing bout of coughing, followed by the tea, which will soothe it. Afterwards the patient should breath much more easily. Should you and he wish, I would be happy to discretely interview your father and assess his condition with a view to a more specific treatment. Yours Sincerely Sir James, Doctor Winchester Baron Wentwood The jar was labelled 'To Soothe a Dry Cough' and contained dried Liquorice Root, Lemon Peel and Sage, all of which were soothing and the sage a disinfectant. The label bore instructions to steep for five minutes and serve with a spoonful of honey. The bottle was labelled 'To Expel Phelgm' and contained a thick Syrup made with Ginger, Thyme and Black Pepper, which encouraged the opening of the airways and a stronger cough to clear them. Along with the letter was a doctor's prescription, which might be given to an Apothecary if the Cavendishes desired any more of either medication to be compounded for them.

Blackguard Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Reply received the 28th Lord Wentwood, Thank you for your kindness. While my father has assured me repeatedly that he is fine, at his age, one must take measures to overcome an old man's stubbornness. Please accept my invitation for the two of us to call on him imminent, ostensibly to view his library, of which he is proud. Yours Truly, William Cavendish Lord Cavendish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Winchester Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Reply arrives 30th. Lord Cavendish, It is my pleasure. All should have good health and care, and I know that with his family around him your Lord father abounds in the latter. If it pleases you, I shall attend tomorrow afternoon at tea time. It would be a pleasure and a privilege to view your father's library, of which I have heard much. I shall conveniently have my bags in my carriage, and this shall give me time to visit the Apothecary before hand. Yours in Service Sir James, Doctor Winchester Baron Wentwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackguard Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Lord Wentwood, Tomorrow will not work for us. How about the early evening of the 29th? Cavendish OOC~ Trying to move you closer to the open dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Winchester Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Lord Cavendish, With deep regret I must say that I cannot attend on the 29th. Would the afternoon of the 31st suit you? I will depart to leave you ample time to prepare for the ball. Your Servant James Winchester Baron Wentwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
