My dear Sir
In bidding you farewell for the present, I have some circumstances to mention about our common proteges.
Alfred Peach was drunk on Saturday.
Adam Prince was ill in bed on Wednesday: I had no reason to think there was any drinking:
Walker is spitting blood.
Mrs Broomhead's daughter at home I am persuading to put into the Women's Club. Please add her to those whom you will "pass" if you can.
Do you know that Mrs Limb's son is to be married at Christmas, & that then the newly married wife will take the charge of the mother in law, Widow Limb, & that Elizth Sims will leave?
I have induced Lizzie Holmes not to go to work till next Friday
I shall follow your directions about my Fanny:
she says she "has no indigestion except when she eats." that is rather a bad state of affairs. I think you were kind enough to propose sending me the prescription for her Pills, if you wish her to continue them.
With every best wish for your highest success
pray believe me
in great haste
ever yrs faithfully
F. Nightingale
