From a Gentleman, enclosing a Certificate of Illness from a Medical Man, excusing himself from attending at his Office.

Brompton, May 28th, 187—

Dear Sir,

I enclose, as you wish, a certificate from Dr. R. P——, who has been attending me for the last few weeks. I hope most sincerely I shall be able to resume my duties about the middle of the week, particularly if I go on improving as I have done the last few days.

I trust you will tender my best thanks to all for their forbearance and assistance during my illness.

Believe me,

Yours very truly,

H. B. H.
