Dear Sir
1. I understand that Adelaide Peach, the girl with Pericarditis, has bedsores. If this be so, you probably know it. Would you wish her to be put on a Water-bed or water-pillow: and if so where could either be had?
2. It is said that poor Hitchcock, the man with heart disease, is worse: could you see him tomorrow ? and would you kindly tell him to make his mind easy for I wish to undertake all that part of his debt to you which can be repaid with money?
In haste sincerely yours
F. Nightingale

3. I am told that there is the most abominable drainage smell at "Mount Pleasant" If the " Nuisance-man" would put that to rights, & say the Small-Pox arose there I would gladly be the Scape-goat.
