Part of St George's Nursing Collection
Five miscellaneous letters written by Florence Nightingale over several decades, apparently collected as memorabilia and with no obvious connection to St George's:
- letter describing her experiences with the Deaconesses of Kaiserwerth, Germany [written double-sided on thin paper, so difficult to read], c.1850
- letter relaying a message from Lady Canning that 'no more nurses are required at present in the East', 19 Jul 1855 [enclosed in card frame]
- letter to Dr C. B. N. Dunn, requesting that he intervene with the overseer of a mill so that a girl who works there might be relieved of 'stooping work', and complaining about an uncooperative servant, 3 Nov 1880
- letter to 'Messrs Mitchell' complaining about the quality of white bread ['it has often been not baked enough: quite pale-faced the crust'], 21 Oct 1885
- Christmas greeting to a Miss Dr Macdonald, 26 Dec 1893
- two envelopes addressed to Nightingale, one bearing the seal of the Crown Princess of Germany, c. 19th century [mounted on board]
