* Beatty (Sir William 1773-1842). Autograph letter to Page Nicol Scott, congratulating him on a birth, meeting his nephew and enclosing an autograph of Sir Thomas Hardy; 5 February 1840, 3 pp., 'It gratified one indeed to have the satisfaction of an interview with your nephew, whose conversation and manners made a most favourable impression on your humble servant... I enclose the autograph of the late Sir Thos. Hardy [not present] as you desired...', he also mentions that he suffers from bronchitis 'which brought on my old enemy the gout', black seal (with show through) and red prepaid stamp to verso, one margin partially excised, folds, 4to with some press cuttings and a print of Nelson's body lying in state at Greenwich (Qty: 1)NOTESSir William Beatty (1773-1842) was ship's surgeon aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, during which 62 men were killed and 109 wounded. He performed 11 amputations, saving many lives, with only six men dying from wounds. After witnessing the death of Nelson (his account was subsequently published as Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson in 1807) and at Nelson's request, Beatty preserved the body in a barrel of brandy, and later during the autopsy removed the fatal musket ball, which is now at Windsor Castle. He continued his medical studies thereafter, becoming Physician Extraordinary to King George IV and the Duke of Clarence (later William IV). He retired in 1839 and died of bronchitis in 1842. Page Nicol Scott (died aged 66 in 1848) was for 33 years a much admired surgeon to the county gaol in Norwich and an avid collector of Nelson memorabilia.
