10, South Street, Park Lane, W

Sir,

I should be disturbed that Mr Heywood did not give you Mrs. Brooks’ address (to whom I did send it) were it not that I have the pleasure of the information from you, that you are ‘now about to arrange for a deputation to the Colonial Secretary on South African affairs’.

Mrs H. Brooks
Care of J Rider Brooks Esq
Garthlands
Askley
Near Batnet
Will always find her.

And I earnestly hope that she will have the advantage of an interview with you.

In great haste
Pray believe me
Ever your faithful servt
Florence Nightingale

F.W. Chesson Esq
