Autograph letter, signed (mourning stationery). [London], March 11, 1880. To Henry Fawcett. 12 mo., 44 pages.
A 44-page letter in which Miss Nightingale writes at length her criticism of Government in India as a result of publicity given by newspapers regarding the "flourishing

In her thinking, the remedy is English law.
