Transcript or Index | [faded text in pencil] Lea Hurst Oct 22/80 My dear Sir Do you know Mrs Thompson, a widow with 8 children, living just above Mrs Holmes? She is our Charwoman, and when she came today said that her eldest daughter, who works at the Mill, was attacked with Erysipelas. I sent her home; & left a message in the village to ask you to be so kind as to attend the daughter. I have learnt since that you were not in the Village today. Would you be so kind as to call on the girl Thompson, & also to let me know if there is anything we ought to send her. Also: whether you think the mother had better stay at home with her girl, or whether she might still come here? They are very poor I believe. And I understand the girl has had before a very severe attack of Erysipelas In haste pray believe me sincerely yours F. Nightingale Perhaps, if you are coming or sending into Holloway tomorrow you could kindly send the Medicines for my two maids and myself F.N.
