Nursing

Response to Sir Richmond's recommendation for a lady of 18 to enter the nursing school. Nightingale argues that she is too young, and explains the reasons why they wait to train nurses until they are older. Nevertheless, she makes an appointment to see the girl in November. Nightingale also thanks Sir Richmond for the picture of her.
