Dear Mr Rawlinson
Enclosed is the
long promised tracing
of the Regimental
Hospital for £100
per bed (120 beds)
which I think on
the whole the best
thing we have done.
I need not
point out to you
that some alterations
[Page 2 of 4]
must be made for
a Civil Hospital -
with women Patients.
- that a better
elevation might
cheaply be procured
by a little more
relief -  that [illegible]
You are quite
at Liberty to have
the tracing copied
if agreeable to you.
But I have no
other copy.
I read & returned
[Page 3 of 4]
your Winchester Report
Could you have a
stronger fact than
the death from Fever
of poor Mr. Barton,
the Warden of the
College itself? What
do they want more?
I have just heard
a similar fact -
where danger was
succeeded by death
as rapidly. Now
for these mortal
Fevers among well -
to - do people, living
[Page 4 of 4]
good & temperate lives,
there can be but one
explanation Would
to God that people
would see it!
I don't think you
could say more than
you have done in
your Report
I thought Mr.
P. Holland's Manchester
letter exceedingly good
ever yours sincerely
F. Nightingale
