Letter from Florence Nightingale to William Rathbone MP, 13 October 1882 [image 1 of 4]

Description

In this letter to William Rathbone, dated 13 October 1882, F.N. explains that she has at last received the letters of the Local Government Board, dated July. In her opinion, 'the case now is more of an engineering one than simply a sanitary one'. She recommends the services of a Mr Rawlinson, 'the man Bangor seems to want', who 'would trace the evil in its relation to engineering and household cases'. The letter ends: 'Bangor is such an important case, so terribly typical for itself and for others, that we wish you doubly success.'
