Deciphering patient notes

[MKG]

Snuff is a very efficient light brown dye. Bronzing fits perfectly.

I have to go with bronzing as well ...... only reason I say that I am in the middle of doing lots of transcribing from the old writing.

Hi Ayashi Foxtail,

I think that you are right with "Behavioral Health!"

Thanks,

I have checked on wikipedia, and it is associated with "Physical Health" which I think must be the 'P.H.' that is also mentioned.

Thanks to everyone,

I think I have now deciphered the entire document.

Regards,

Darin.

That's great

It's Housing and Mending something he would have to  make probably in wood.

#  Something that covers, protects, or supports, especially:

   1. A frame, bracket, or box for holding or protecting a mechanical part: a wheel housing.
   2. An enclosing frame in which a shaft revolves.

# A hole, groove, or slot in a piece of wood into which another piece is inserted.
# A niche for a statue.

The first one reads to me

"now convinced that neither hand, nor much speaking is necessary in offering up prayer".

I would think that either he was so incapacitated to move his hands to pray or told a nurse he could pray without making much noise.

The letter 'h' is identical to hand and housing

I think its bronzing and mending stuccoes. 

And the other sentence is "now convinced that neither loud, nor much, speaking is necessary" 

The nurse would have been tired after night duty and having to write lots of reports, wouldn't have been too careful with commas etc.  If you put a comma after "loud", and after "nor much" it makes more sense.  It also looks as though originally the nurse was going to write "now convinced that neither "much", then changed his/her mind.
