About the stove for Anthony Boden's bedroom, I wrote immediately to Mr Yeomans to have it done. But he says A Boden could not bear the noise. Should you think otherwise, pray have it done. I will go halves with the house landlord in the cost. We are so rejoiced that the Whatstandwell Coffee room prospers. I am about to write you a better letter but have had many drawbacks, among them, an inflammn. in my eyes. ever your faithful servt F. Nightingale C.B.N. Dunn Esq.
