Original autograph letter in black ink, signed and dated 14 May 1892, headed '10, South Street, Park Lane. W.' The letter, which is addressed to Mrs Walker, expresses concern for the health of 'our poor friend, Hannah Allen', and offers comfort and support. 'I feel very anxious to hear something from her...would you kindly tell me how she is by night as well as by day - mind as well as body - and give her my love and God bless her. Are there any parts of the Bible printed in large letters that she would like to have & that she has not?...My permanent & constant work is so far beyond my strength that I am quite unable to undertake any extra work, however willing & anxious to do so. Would you be so good as to tell me whether she likes the things she has from Mr Yeomans - & whether she would like me again to send her pounded meat & orange jelly...Thank you so much for your kindness to her...Florence Nightingale'. The letter also refers to Dr Dunn and Dr Macdonald. Two sheets, inscribed on all four sides; some general discolouration and spotting; some splitting to edges of fold-linesProvenance: By descent. The recipient of the letter (Mrs Walker) was vendor's great-grandmother. Mr & Mrs Walker lived in Holloway, just outside the grounds of Lea Hurst, and Mr Walker was a farmer and butcher

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), founder of modern nursing, known as "The Lady with the Lamp". Original autograph letter in black ink, signed and dated 11 June 1894, on headed paper (10, South Street, Park Lane. W.). The letter, which is addressed to Mrs Walker, seeks to ensure the welfare of 'Sister Hannah Allen', and concerns payment for her care. 'I am sorry that the repayment to you of the money for the woman who by your kind arrangement cleans & washes for Hannah Allen has been so delayed. But I am so overworked & for months together such a prisoner to my room from illness that I wish all my payments could go thro' one person...I now send a cheque for £2. 12...I must say that I feel very uneasy about Sister Hannah Allen (as we used to call her) living alone, sitting up all night & lying in bed in the day - I presume with her door locked. But I suppose nothing can be done - she would become suspicious of anybody who lived with her? With many thanks, yours sincerely, F. Nightingale. I hope you are quite well now. I thank Mr Walker, knowing that he supplies good meat to my friends. F. N.'
