They sometimes have additional documents inserted, including photographs and correspondence relating to requests for references/transcripts.

Letters

Five miscellaneous letters written by Florence Nightingale over several decades, apparently collected as memorabilia and with no obvious connection to St George's:

Letters of support/congratulation

Letters of support/congratulation received by Powell, mostly written by fellow nurses and members of the public in response to a 1969 television appearance in which Powell criticised the 'pay as you eat' scheme for charging nurses for their food and apparently stated that she would be prepared to chain herself to the railings of Parliament to oppose it.
