Fisherman Sells Fish and Doctor Mapp at Grecian Coffee House
The text notes a fisherman selling a fish for thirty six shillings with a waterman paid six shillings. It then describes Mrs. Mapp, bone setter of Epsom, curing a man in Wardour Street and a six year old girl in Devereux Court, with gifts given. It also reports on Russian/Tartar clashes near Grafs and English distillers clashing with apothecaries over gin, plus notes on Kiel and Danish-Holstein politics and tea imports as smuggling indicators.
