My dear Sir For any real good that can be done while that figure-head is there, you & I might have spared our pains, & I my anxiety. Poor Emma Collins is so ill again that, having no home, she has been sent off to the Hospital. I expected it: but not so soon. This is the second: We have executed what you kindly ordered about Peter Cotterill's wife, poor thing - & are awaiting fresh orders. Mrs Swann dined here & went off to her Patient. Have you any orders with regard to Widow Fern & the poor little Duke? Yours sincerely F. Nightingale
