Description

ALS, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, December 8, 1883. Letter to Edmund Boulnois of the Marylebone Infirmary, in part: "I am truly obliged for your kind note of yesterday; and I seize this opportunity of saying how grateful we are to you for all the great goodness & wisdom which you have bestowed upon the Nursing arrangements of St. Marylebone Infirmary. I need hardly say how warm is the interest I take in the proposed plan for Probationers & Nurses Home; & how glad I shall be to have the opportunity of hearing your views. I am rather hard pressed during the next fortnight with work sent in to me & people to see connected with it, before the Christmas holidays which they take. But, if it should not be equally convenient to you to wait till say the 21 or 22 when I would gladly see you at 5 o'clock, I am sure I could find some intermediate afternoon to have the great pleasure of your promised visit. Might I ask you to be so very as to send me before you come the altered plans of the New Building." In fine condition, with a thin strip of old mounting residue along the left edge of the first page.
