It must have seemed strange to you, Dr Agnew, when you found that we had not told Mrs Simons that you made no charge for your visit here— The reason that we did not tell her was that she had been very much annoyed when she found that Dr Bowen was not being paid for his services, she was very unwilling to receive charity from a stranger, she felt that some of his neglect came from the fact that she was a charity patient— So we thought we would not tell her until after the operation I think we did not do the wisest way but at the time it seemed to us best.

We hope you will send us the bill for the operation— We know that you must have innumerable cases of this kind, and we of course have not so let us defray the expense of this one— (OKeU)
