Transcript or Index	Fanny Dowding is quite laid up with a very severe attack of congested (& slightly enlarged) Liver: which, the medical attendant thinks, must have been coming on some time F.N. I trust you will soon see Mr Yeomans about the field to receive the Holloway sewage, & the proposal of a "tank". if it is desirable. F.N. [the following text is in pencil] I hope poor old Lyddy Prince is tolerably well: & Mrs Limb & Mrs Broomhead not suffering too much from the cold. Would you be so very good as to see that Mrs Broomhead (she is so helpless) uses the warm bottles & warm things etc that she has - I desired Martha Sheldon to make her a pair of warm stockings to wear at night. Are they come? I hope too that poor Mrs Bratby is not worse: & her husband improving. Please remember me to them all. F.N.
