Transcript or Index	Lea Hurst Oct. 11/78 My dear Sir In sending for Lizzie Brook's medicine, might I ask you if she may go, as she has asked, on Sunday afternoon to her Mother's "for the Wakes." I have no reason against it except a profoundly bad opinion of her mother: but I own I should not be sorry if you thought that she had better not go (medically) Yrs sincerely F. Nightingale
