Transcript of letter by Emily Slesson (c.1855) Madam, I am very anxious to go out to assist either Miss Nightingale or Miss Stanley. I am very strong and could stand a great amount of work and fatigue. Twenty six and a half years old looking rather older I think. My great fear is that I am too late in applying to be sent out but in case more nurses are wanted I trust I might be allowed to serve. Would you Madam be so very kind as to let me know if there is any chance of my being able to go out? I think I may say I feel sure of being able to finance myself very useful having qualities of strength and nerve. I remain Madam My address is Friday Feb 9th |
