His health was fragile, but his spirit was not. Rather than pursue law, he chose to raise racehorses. During a trip to the Shrewsbury races in November 1855, he fell gravely ill. His care was entrusted to the elderly local doctor, Dr. Bamford, and his own friend, Dr. Palmer. Dr. William Palmer, a widower, father, physician, and surgeon, was a figure of trust and respect.
