My dear Sir
Thank you very much for your kind note. Will you kindly tell me what you hear about the probability of having a famine in Western India? We have heard so many threatenings this year.
Another private bulky Report "of the Sanitary condition of the city of Madras, which possibly you may not have heard of, has come in to the
President of our Army Sanitary Commission. This looks as if India meant business. The Sanitary state of Madras is represented as abominable. I have never known so many appeals to the Army Sanitary Commission come in direct. I will write again in a day or two.
Yours faithfully ever
Florence Nightingale
T. Gillham Hewlett Esq.
