On the war breaking out in 1793, Dr Jackson who, in 1791, had published a valuable work on the fevers of Jamaica and continental America applied for employment as army-physician; but Mr Hunter, the director-general of the medical department of the army, considering none eligible for such employment who had not served as staffer regimental surgeon, or apothecary to the forces, Jackson agreed to accept, in the first instance, the surgeoncy of the 3d Buffs, on the understanding, that at a future time, he should be nominated physician as he desired.
I have given him the surgeoncy. I told Planta, who is much pleased. The Duke was sent for because the physicians intended to acquaint the King with his danger. He was restless yesterday. The bulletin says he passed a very distressing day. He walked across the room, however, and will probably last some days. In the House, East Retford till 8, when I came away. June 9. A better bulletin.
