Your Meeting on June 19
My dear Madam
I have a silent horror of my poor name
being used by those who do all the work:
& I should be very thankful if you did
not find cause to take what you ask:
but I wish 'God speed' so heartily to your
undertaking & your Meeting that no
scruple of mine ought to oppose anything
that you think of the least use:
Pray alter or suppress altogether what I
enclose: (especially if it is not quite true now
that troops are beset with bad invitations before

landing:)
If you wish to announce Subscriptions at
the meeting, may I send you £10.10,
which otherwise I should prefer sending you
in a more private manner.
May all blessings attend you & prosper
your work:  may the God of peace & the
Lord of hosts' be with you & our men
is the fervent prayer
of yours ever faithfully
Florence Nightingale
