He is writing on behalf of Long, who is starting to canvas for votes because "altho there is no immediate vacancy among the Surgeons of his Hospital, two of his young rivals have begun ... & their proceeding, they say, is justified by the very advanced age of Messieurs Pt, Crane, & Young, three Veterans of the Lancet, who retain at present the posts of Honor in St Batholemews". Hayley then explains how Seward could best be of assistance. Hayley next asks about Seward's progress on Louisa, and whether "some Critical Remarks" Long sent "have answered his affectionate Purpose, intended to stimulate instead of depressing yr Muse". He then points out that "Criticism is like Physic" and "frequently produces an Effect directly opposite to what ... [was] ... intended". In a postscript, Hayley mentions that Seward "will hear of some visits" he has recently paid "yr Friend the fair Quaker [Mary Knowles]" Hayley/XII/35 1 accession number Hayley/XII/35 110005521 priref 110005521 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110005521 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/110005521 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum 1783 1783 1783-08-07 reference agent-198487 adlib-agent-198487 4dbae6db-a725-3bfd-b34e-5d215b1a85e6 Hayley, William 1 sheet, folded.
