Letter from Florence Nightingale to an unknown man, 1881

April 1, 1881
10, South Street,
Park Lane. W.

Sir

I write scarcely to excuse myself for my long and most unwilling silence, for I am at least as much interested in the subject of Hospital Orderly Nursing as yourself, and more sorry to put off your kindly offered interview than you can be.

Could you be so good as to fix some day about 5 o'clock that it would be convenient to you to come and call upon me. Or rather please give me the choice of two or three days.

I will not say more till I have had the valued opportunity of some conversation with you on the subject on which you wrote to me but that I am

Ever your faithful servant,

Florence Nightingale
