No, it says Received to care of husband ;D

So, on those two examples,
"Relieved = recovered from acute illness and can return home or to another hospital"
looks a good definition!

At Bethlem in 1851, patients were not allowed to remain there above twelve months.  I don't know if that applied to other establishments.
