Also includes family papers, such as letters to his daughter, correspondence between family members, and papers belonging to a son, John Fothergill Waterhouse, and to his wives, Elizabeth Oliver and Louisa Lee Waterhouse; Waterhouse's membership certificates and appointments; journal extract of trip to Saratoga, N.Y. in 1794; inoculation and vaccination record of Waterhouse children; and petitions and reports regarding inoculation for smallpox in Cambridge, Mass. The letters from Jefferson show the President's support for vaccination against smallpox and discuss vaccine matter sent by Waterhouse; his ideas on agriculture, especially benefits of a variety of rice he introduced into America; and his views of Waterhouse's book The Botanist. A copy of Waterhouse's letters to Jefferson concerns his interest in Benjamin Rush's position as treasurer of the Mint, as well as the new post of surgeon-general, and his general desire to leave Massachusetts. Madison's letters discuss Waterhouse's books and concern agriculture and agricultural societies. Also includes a Waterhouse letter to Jenner reporting on those opposed to inoculation; requesting some infected thread; and generally discussing colleagues, the smallpox hospital in Boston, and related matters. A letter from Jenner concerns a paper he has written on the origin of inoculation against smallpox.".
