JENNER, Sir William (1815-1898). Physician.
Autograph Letter Signed to Dr Fox, 2 pages 8vo with envelope, 18 Harley Street, 27 February 1868. Thanking him for his congratulations (Jenner was made a baronet on 25 February).

'... It is a great pleasure to have had a small share in preparing such good vessels as your sons, in the dry docks of Hospital wards for their launch into the trying sea of practice. ...'

The baronetcy seems to have made Jenner a little light-headed.
