Transcription
Townsend’s daughters arrived home safely. He thanks Sloane for examining Ann. Even though Ann’s eyes are no better, Townsend had Mr Harrington write Sloane and relay his daughter’s case. Townsend requests that Sloane read Harrington’s letter and do what he can. He thinks Sloane’s medicines will do Ms Harrington some good. Others in Exeter, hearing of Harrington’s case being sent to Sloane, are thinking of writing to him. Townsend apologizes if Sloane is overwhelmed with requests.
