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.
