Hi Elentari 
I think this is fine, I've fixed a couple of typoes and read the PR thread
unfortunately when I tried to post there it said I wasn't logged in, so I logged in (while logged in) and the thread appeared at the entry instead of in the PR thread
sorry!

Hi again Elentari,
I'm struggling with the word "hospice" in your description of where Dunant met his death and where Jakob Kellenberger was born. I've found several links online, the building is now a museum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Dunant_Museum
but nowhere is it called a "hospice". Some call it "the district hospital of Heiden" and others just a "nursing home".
Could you supply a reference for the use of the word hospice, or shall I change it?

I think it was in a short article in Time magazine, but I can't remember if that was the word used and I no longer have the article.
He was there for several years, which seems more like a hospice than a hospital to me, but who knows? If you want to change it to hospital that's fine by me.

How about "nursing home" and a mention that the building is now the Henry Dunant Museum?

Are you happy for it to be returned to the Eds then?
