2. I have now (this morning) received your kind letter. And I will trouble you about Milk & meat & such things as you kindly order for our charges. On
Meat are Sisters Allen
Louisa Peach
Mrs Broomhead
Widow Barton
[Widow] Brown.
Of the two last, Widow Barton's was only to be for the winter months. Widow Brown's only for her illness.
Both would stop on March 31. I observe from your letter that good Widow Pearson has been ill.
Would you like her Meat to continue a month longer?
I conclude that you would wish L Peach's meat to continue
You kindly tell me how each of these 5 or rather 6 Patients are:
I will ask you to say when, if ever, any are no longer in need of the meat.
3. I am sorry to hear so poor an account of Lizzie Holmes' winter, & very thankful to you for your care of her.
^4.^ The following are on Milk: Mrs Broomhead (meat)
[Mrs] Lyddy Prince.
[Mrs] Holmes
Widow March
[Widow ] Barton (meat)
4 L Peach (meat)
Ant Boden
Sisters Allen 2 (meat)
Mrs Brown (meat)
Betty Broom
The 4 I have marked [March, Barton, Peach and Boden] had milk conditionally until March 31 only.
But I should not like to take them all off :
I would propose that each ^of the two^ [in pencil] twos should have it quarter & quarter about subject to your advice
Should it be
Widow Barton, supposing her meat taken off
Anthony Boden March 31 - June 30?
L Peach, supposing her meat not taken off
Widow March June 30 - Sep 30
^or how?^
the whole subject to your advice if you will be so very kind as to give it. & nobody to be taken off without your advice (tho' I admit I have done wrong in making "pensioners") & no one to be kept on who you think needs it no longer.
I would propose that all those who are kept on should understand that it is to be re-considered every 3 months: your kind advice to be always taken.
5. I should be glad to hear how you think Lyddy Prince (does Adam keep sober?) Widow Marsh, Anty. Boden
[pencil] Pray excuse all the trouble I am giving you. |
