My dear Sir
Do you wish your Patient's hair to be shaved or cut short?
Would you say whether he must not leave off the cotton Jersey next his skin? for if he must not I must get him some more to change?
I think the new Nurse is a capable woman - Perhaps you would suggest to her what you think best about who is to sit up.
Please write me your opinion about the Patient & tell me what hour you will come tomorrow.
