To the Trustees of the Royal Hospital
and Dispensary of Salford.
Gentlemen,
Understanding that Mr William
Hall is about to offer himself a Candidate
for the office of Surgeon to your excellent
establishment, I feel great pleasure in
bearing testimony to his great industry,
zeal and humanity, with which I have been
personally acquainted; Mr Hall having
for a long period officiated as my pupil
and dresser at the Manchester Royal
Infirmary. I also beg respectfully to
express my opinion as to Mr Hall's fitness
to discharge the important duties of any
hospital appointment, and from his regular
and gentlemanlike demeanour on all occasions,
I feel convinced he would do credit to a public
appointment.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant
Mr James Wilson FRCS Eng
Surgeon to the Royal Infirmary
Mosley St. June 2 1847
