    13A Letter that’s flown from Agra-Rome with me (10)
    Anagram of Agra, Rome, Me = AEROGRAMME


    24A Plague record one medic assembled (8)
    Record=EP
    One=I
    Anagram of EP,I, MEDIC = EPIDEMIC

    2D Nurses go operate with them! (8)
    Anagram of Nurses, Go = SURGEONS

    2D Nurses go operate with them! (8)

    Here the grammar does not seem to be OK. If we improve it by adding 'to' after 'go' the anag fodder suffers. A suggested edit is just add a comma after 'Nurses'. "Nurses, go operate with them!" (with the given exclamation mark) will make it imperative tense and might be taken as an order from a hospital chief administrator.
