My dear Sir
I am extremely indebted to you for your kind account of "the Patients", and most thankful that the boy Bunting will recover entirely, and that Mrs Bratby is so much better.  I hope that you will be able to get Widow Limb into Buxton Hospital again.  You have another patient who is much better & able, I hope, to go out every day.  And that is my aunt at Lea Hurst. 
I send a cheque with many thanks: pray continue your kindness to my Patients. 
I am sorry, for her sake, that I have Rose Wren (with the strain and swelling on her arm) back on my hands for Medical advice. I found her an out Patient of St George's Hospital.  I have taken her away & given her good Medical advice. 
In haste ever yours faithfully
Florence Nightingale
C.B.N. Dunn Esq.
