Transcript or Index	May 16/87 My dear Sir I cannot say how much obliged to you I am for keeping me informed about poor Bratby & for your great attention to him I am afraid you are not satisfied with his progress. Has his consciousness been defective? I trust you will have Dr Webb in consultation as often as you think desirable & that if there is any thing I could send him, you will tell me. With many thanks, pray believe me most faithfully yours F. Nightingale I wrote on Saturday to thank you for you kind telegram. But somebody's carelessness did not post the letter in time. C.B.N. Dunn Esq.
