My dear Madam
I cannot thank you
enough for sending me these
most interesting & invaluable
letters.
All the information that I
receive, even from Germans,
goes to bear out exactly what
is herein said - tho' said by
your correspondent with very
much more point & piqauncy,
as you may suppose, than
by most of mine.
I believe her to be
absolutely right in all her
[Page 2 of 3]
"guesses"!
Might I suggest to you that,
when the time comes to draw
up some conclusions, whether
for publications or not, as to
the working of the different
International (Red Cross) Societies
with a view to future progress
suggestions quite invaluable
will be found in these letters?
I have laid many in store,
tho' quite deep in my own heart.
I am so very sorry about her
distress as to the French poverty
at Versailles.

Mr. Bullock, the gentleman
who was the author of what is
called the "Daily News Fund'',
& has been working it himself
in the Ardennes, is now gone
to Versailles with a similar
purpose - I take for granted,
at your instigation.
You know also of the
"War Victims' Fund" - (I enclose
one of their papers). 86 Houndsditch E.
Pray excuse a very hasty
note - & pray believe me
dear Madam
yours devotedly
Florence Nightingale
Mrs. Nassau Senior
