    TO DR. JOHN ELLIOTSON.
My Dear Doctor,
  Thirteen months ago, when it seemed likely that this story had  come to a close, a kind friend brought you to my bedside, whence,  in all probability, I never should have risen but for your constant  watchfulness and skill. I like to recall your great goodness and  kindness (as well as many acts of others, showing quite a surprising  friendship and sympathy) at that time, when kindness and friendship  were most needed and welcome.
  And as you would take no other fee but thanks, let me record them  here in behalf of me and mine, and subscribe myself,
  Yours, most sincerely and gratefully,
  W. M. THACKERAY.
