Doctor and friend scene ends in sudden death at bed
An unnamed friend describes a doctor attending as a man dies after a hot day and a possible apoplexy. The narrative recalls Governor Wright's life from Massachusetts birth in 1775 to his New York governorship in 1842. It notes a funeral, a lecture draft for the State Agricultural Society, and a long biographical sweep, hinting at public service and anti slavery debates of the era.
