Letter from John Simpson, England?, to Madame Blaze de Bury, 1859 September 30 : autograph manuscript signed.

Informing her that Cooke has gone to Bridport to see his brother and will most likely be there tomorrow; stating that he wrote to Drouot (probably referring to French opthamologist Théophile Drouot, born 1803) for a reference to someone "cured of what an English physician called cataracts", but has not received an answer, and so his mother will probably not come to Paris.
