Florence NIGHTINGALE- Autograph Letter SIGNED (To Sir James Clark). 3 pages.

30, Old Burlington St. July 18 (18)60. "My dear Sir James Clark, Would you be so good as to take this enclosed down to Dr. Aitken tomorrow, if you go; and to read this, his statement, altho' I dare say he has already consulted you upon it. I hope that you will be so good as to let us know the result of your visit, as you proposed? "Perhaps it will be better not to let the D.G. (or any one) know that this statement has been seen by us. It might excite jealousy. If you would therefore put it into Dr. Aitken's hands, who will know what it is, without others knowing it, & tell him what you would advise. Ever yours sincerely.." SIGNED F. Nightingale
