Hi Lorraine,
This is just a brief note to say that Eleanor, the Curator of the Sydney Hospital Archives, was unable to assist with any information on Jules Francois Anseline, as the records there don't go back to 1876.
It took quite some time to reach her as she had been unable to go to work at the end of last year because of flooding from the Sydney storms and then, of course, there has been the holiday season...
Meanwhile, she did suggest that a letter sent to a person C/- a hospital might mean that they were 1)a patient or alternatively, 2)an employee (but there is more than enough evidence you uncovered that he was a patient and not a hospital employee at St Vincents).
Paul.
