Summary
Thanking him for his assistance in putting her in touch with the Sea-Bathing Infirmary in Margate; reporting that "the result has been most favorable to the Child -- who is so far recovered as to walk with the aid of crutches, which I hope he will ultimately be able to discard; -- and sho[ul]d it be otherwise, the gratitude of all related to him must still be felt in its fullest force towards you, Sir, who have so greatly contributed under God's blessing to his recovery"; asking for the favor of "a few minutes conversation respecting my own more immediate affairs."
