My dear Sir Benjamin Brodie,
Do you consider me as
having the advantage to
be sufficiently known to you
to ask you to do me a very
great kindness?
The Bearer of this is an
English lady, Ms. Blackwell
MD. who graduated in
America - has worked her
way up to a physician's
practice among women and
children (not exclusively
in midwifery) at New York,
and is now returned to England
[Page 2 of 2]
where she is very anxious
to have the benefits of
your counsel as to her
future career, if you
can spare her time
for an interview.
I will not take up more
of your time by writing -
I beg that you will believe
me dear Sir Benjamin Brodie
Yrs very truly obliged
Florence Nightingale
