Summary
Saying he has sent again for Dr. Aglietti; fearing that "her state menaces consumption;" asking for his help in persuading him to come to see "the Guiccioli;" adding "I have written at Count Guiccioli's own request and enclosed besides a long medical statement of her case;" asking that he tell Dr. Aglietti that he will be responsible for any expense and that his coming would be "a great personal favour."
