Italian-born British nurse (1820–1910), popularly known as the ‘Lady with a Lamp,’ who first came to prominence for her care of troops during the Crimean War. She pioneered modern nursing and hospital practice, and her prowess as a mathematician led her to develop a number of important innovations in the field of statistics. ALS signed “F. N.,” one page, 4.25 x 7, September 17, 1859. Letter to an unidentified recipient. In part: “I’m very sorry…But if you’ll come out to the farm, you should find twenty ‘feeds’ here, if you could eat them. The worst thing the Great Eastern has done is killing Brunel.” Scattered light spotting to page, not affecting legibility, otherwise fine condition.
