young lady whom you
have saved for a year's
training: & for her then
to become a Nurse over
Mrs. Vicars' proposed Ward?
[This would entail no more
than my Matron & Mrs.
Vicars knowing the secret.]
I should think the young
lady not incapacitated
(but the reverse), from
doing great good in
Hospital Nursing: & so
extremely regret that we
cannot take her ourselves.
Believe me ever yours sincerly
F. Nightingale
