My dear Sir
Would you be so very good as to send me more pills (aperient, I suppose) for my "Fanny" [Fanny Dowding]? Such as you gave her last: she said she was "bilious" and could not take the cod liver oil:  she has taken all the pills & lost the box:
yrs sincerely (in haste)
F. Nightingale

C.B.N. Dunn Esq.
