Sir,

I am directed to inform you that one Robert
Munro< no role > , a Patient in this Hospital, did Cut his Throat
here this Morning, and is Just now Dead of the
Wound.

The best Account that can be given at present
for his doing this Act, is, That he despaired of
being Cured of his Disease (for which he had been
in the Lock Hospital before he came here) and have
been in expectation of a Place, which it is said
had been promised to be given to him, he was,
[..] acquainted, that he must lay aside all
thoughts of it, for it could not be procured for
him; and this, it is thought was what determined
him to put a Speedy End to his Life.

You will please to give directions to the
Bearer what must be done with regard to the
Removal or Burial of the Corper

I am

Sir

Your most humble Servt,
Joseph Hall< no role > Clerk

Tho Coroner of
Middlesex
