| Description | Simeon Mestayer, a 70 year old man, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. He was born in Dublin but his father was originally from Languedoc. He has been a member of the French Church of London for the past forty years. Simeon works for the French Hospital but his eyesight and memory are now so poor that he can no longer continue. A note in a different hand, signed by Louis Mercier, states that since the petitioner is known to the Directors, he will not plead his case but he strongly recommends him. |
