If you could be as so good as to ascertain whether he is allowed or ordered stimulants. I should like to lend him through you a bottle of Brandy…Let him have a kind message from me, please, as from Mr. Nightingale: I say that I hope they will meet one another in the Kingdom of God, & that God may give him strength to bear his sufferings patiently. I should be anxious to know whether he is confined to bed; & whether he suffers much; & whether he has been given Opiates to take, which are generally in Cancer unavoidable." In fine condition.
