ALS signed “F. Nightingale,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Claydon House letterhead, December 29, 1894. Handwritten letter to a gentleman, in part: "My foolish Telegram I fear misled you—the fact was: this: we were all uneasy at your riding home thro' the mud in the pitch darkness when you did not seem at all well. And I telegraphed an enquiry to know how you were after it—But my sister who is gone always warned me that Steeple Claydon was the most gossipy place in the whole world—& that any Telegram from here was known over the whole place & perhaps in the local papers…I hope you are flourishing & are a David killing the Goliath Typhoid—we have just lost a first-rate nurse from Typhoid." In fine condition.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
