Âmbito e conteúdo
Addressed to the house of William Hey of Leeds, the recipient's brother, who was Senior Surgeon at Leeds Infirmary, having succeeded his father, William Hey, F.R.S. (died 1819). William Gray is greatly concerned about his daughter, Margaret Hey, suffering from consumption. Mentions quality of wine and asks question about asses’ milk. 'D. Park' means Duncombe Park which he visited frequently, both professionally and, with Mrs. Gray, socially – appears to have sent a ‘brace of partidges’.. (The visits were reciprocated, the Duncombes frequently staying at Grays Court). Margaret Hey died at Grays Court on 31 January 1826, as did Jonathan Gray's daughter, Margaret. There was a joint funeral at St. Maurice's Church.
