Transcript or Index | 2 4. Do you know a Mrs Sims, of Crich - married daughter of that good woman, your old Patient, Mrs Limb, who died at Holloway? If she comes your way, would you be so very kind as to ask her to write to me about her youngest sister, Rosie Limb now married, I am afraid, not very well in Derby - whose confinement ^she^ Mrs Sims has been attending & to tell me how Rose Limb is, and all ^about her,^ & give me her married name and address? Would it be troubling you too much to ask you what sort of woman Mrs Sims is? My recollection of her is that she nursed her mother, Mrs Limb, once - not very well - & was rather "ramshackle" & dirty [crossed through] slovenly. But I am not sure.
I was very sorry not to see you when you were so good as to call here -in August I was just gone to my sister who is now a confirmed Invalid from Rheumatic Arthritis at Claydon. But I returned a month ago.
