Transcript or Index	May 30/79 My dear Sir Thank you very much for your kind letter. I have written to Mr Yeomans your orders about the sick. These deaths from Typhoid are shocking beyond measure Because Typhoid means bad drainage. I trust that you will be successful in your War: & I hope that Mr Yeomans will help you. You say that poor Mary Shardlow "hopes to go to the Infirmary" I enclose an order, which please fill up. If there is any difficulty in paying for her going Yeomans will pay. Excuse haste. Ever yrs ffully F. Nightingale C.B.N. Dunn Esq.
