It has fallen under my own observation that Mc Barney [illegible] has had bad health for several years : also a sickly Wife of two female Children - and I am confident that the medical services he [illegible] for several years back would have been equal to the amount of his pension had they have been charged in the usual way -

I am [illegible] yours
very respectfully
