82, Brook Street, W., February, 1875.
I have great pleasure in stating that I believe Mr. Branfoot to be thoroughly well qualified to fulfil most efficiently the duties of the office for which I understand he is at present a candidate. Mr. Branfoot has been distinguished by the intelligence, ability, and industry he has uniformly displayed in the acquisition of knowledge, and also by the readi ness, skill and success with which he has practically applied the knowledge already acquired in the fulfilment of the duties of the several offices of Dresser, House Surgeon, &c.
Mr. Branfout is a gentleman of whose general character and manners I entertain as high an opinion as I do of his professional acquirements and abilities. In whatever position he may be placed, I am sure he will ably and conscientiously strive to discharge the duties devolving upon him in a manner redounding to his own credit, as well as to the advantage and satisfaction of those with whom he may have to do, whether colleagues or patients.

77, Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, W., February 16th, 1875. Mr. Branfoot having informed me that he is a candidate for an appointment at the Seaman's Hospital, I have very great pleasure in being able to recommend him to the notice of the Governors as in every way fitted for the office. Mr. Branfoot has been one of the most distinguished pupils at Guy's Hospital, and in consequence of his more than usual attainments, was appointed by the Governors, House Surgeon to the Hospital. This is sufficient to show the opinion in which he is held, as the appointment requires great experience, judgment, and skill. Mr. Branfoot has fulfilled his arduous duties to the utmost satisfaction of the authorities, and therefore I feel sure that no better man could
at Guy's Hospital.
