Manuscripts
This collection contains medical and pharmaceutical documents from Thomas Green and his son John Green as well as accounts with a weaver and cobbler. The medical and pharmaceutical documents include a 1753-1754 manuscript from Thomas Green likely used to help train his son and other physicians. This document contains original pharmaceutical recipes and procedures for ailments from gunpowder wounds to cancers, many of which incorporated Indigenous peoples practice's of using local and native plants for medicinal purposes. The medical case histories cover various patients, including women, as well as information about an epidemic that broke out in the spring of 1754. The medical account book from John Green covers the last year of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) while military troops were stationed in Worchester, Massachusetts. Additionally, there are bills, receipts, and invoices for the estate of John Green that document purchasing medical supplies, blacksmithing services, a gravestone, books, and stationary. Also included is an unsigned polemic draft which discusses the campaign to regulate interstate commerce and a biographical sketch written twenty-eight years after John Green's death.
