Memo to City of Augusta Officials regarding Medical Physicians asked to perform post mortem examinations and testify in courts; ca. 1870s

Abstract

Memo from the Augusta Library and Medical Society to C.C. Black, Patrick Walsh, and Walter Clark. The subject of the memo is the Society's resolve to contact the State's General Assembly and ask for relief in regards to Augusta calling on the city's medical doctors to perform postmortem examinations and testify in court without pecuniary relief or consideration of the physicians' time to perform these duties. The memo is not dated, but circa 1870s. It may be incomplete as it consists of only two pages.
