Mr. Eldridge having resigned the office of apothecary to the London Hospital, i beg leave to offer myself a candidate to succeed him, and to solicit the favour of your vote and interest on the occasion. I am encouraged in this request by a consciousness of having done my duty to the utmost of my power during the four years i experienced the favour of the governors as assistant-apothecary. Should i be so happy as to be elected. - Thomas, Thomas, ([publisher not identified],, 1785)
