The notebooks of Joyce Jeffreys, a wealthy Hereford businesswoman in the mid-17th century, provide information about the medicines she purchased and the fees she paid to her medical advisors. Her physician, Dr Bridstock Harford, was a successful doctor but a troublesome neighbour, who was often the subject of litigation. As an ardent parliamentarian, he held public offices during the Commonwealth. Later his opinions mellowed and he ended his days as a loyal subject of the king and a benefactor to his city.
乔伊斯·杰弗里斯是17世纪中叶一位富有的赫里福德女商人，她的笔记本记录了她购买的药品以及支付给医学顾问的费用。她的医生布里兹托克·哈福德博士是一位成功的医生，但却是个麻烦的邻居，经常卷入诉讼。作为一名热情的议会党人，他在内战期间担任公职。后来他的观点变得温和，最终以国王的忠诚臣民和城市恩人的身份度过余生。
