He is very feverish now, and you must not be alarmed if by this evening he is delirious.

You will give him this cooling draught every three hours; he can have anything in the way of cooling drinks he likes.

If he begins to wander, put cloths dipped in cold water and wrung out on his head, and sponge his hands with water with a little Eau de Cologne in it.

If he seems very hot set one of the women to fan him, but don't let her go on if it seems to worry him.

I will come round again at half-past nine this evening and will make arrangements to pass the night here.
