    TO BENJAMIN GOLDING, M. D. &e. &c. &e. ]\Iy Dear Sir, I eagerly embrace tlie opportunity afforded me by the publication of the “ Substance of a Clinical Lecture on the Case of Hydrophobia admitted into the Charing Cross Hospital,” to record the regard and esteem I entertain for you personally, and to express my admira¬ tion of the principles which have led, and the zeal that has animated you to, the Establishment of an Institution, so interesting to humanity, and so much needed by an increased population. That the Hospital which owes its existence to your unwearied exertions may continue to prosper and accomplish to the fullest extent your most sanguine expectations, and that the same cordiality and union, and the same eager desire to carry into effect the benevolent designs of its Founder which now reigns among the Medical Officers and the Governors of the Hospital, may be perpetuated, are among my most ardent wishes, and that you may long live to witness the benefits arising from your philanthropic labours, and the consequent promotion of Medical Science. I have the honor to be, My dear Sir, Your’s very faithfully, T. J. PETTIGREW. Saville Row, 27th November 1834.
