  <dc:description>Nightingale requests 6 bottles of tincture of myrrh in this letter, written one week after the Treaty of Paris brought an end to the Crimean War. Balaclava had two years earlier been the site of an indecisive battle which later provided the inspiration for Alfred, Lord Tennyson&apos;s Charge of the Light Brigade . Nightingale&apos;s work in the Crimea was the inspiration for Longfellow&apos;s Santa Filomena.</dc:description>
