Manuscript / Paper Collectible
For information on the recipient William Frederick Cleveland, see his obituary, BMJ, 3 December 1898. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In fair condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. He explains that he is enclosing a letter to which he replied late as he was out of town, giving a time that day which 'would suit me, if it would be convenient to you'. He 'begged' the writers of the letter to let Cleveland know. He called that afternoon, and found Cleveland absent, but, 'as Miss Marks, I was told, was very bad, I saw her, & prescribed some larger does of Bromide, as I found some Hysterical tenderness of Spine & brain, (Left, I think) & told them to send for you.' Cleveland will see Russell's prescription, '& I requested Mrs. Marks to show it to you at once; & further explained to her that I could see Miss M. only in consultation with yourself'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.
