Book Description
Sending Mrs. Howitt a sample of her subscription letter for Miss Nightingale; saying "There is every reason to hope that Miss Nightingale will soon return from her Mission of love & mercy to recover the strength she has so nobly devoted to her wounded Countrymen - It would be a gratification to thousands to prove their appreciation of the invaluable Services rendered by her, & her associates, to those so dear to their Queen & Country - Mrs. Sidney Herbert tells me that the first wish of Miss Nightingale's heart, 'is to have a hospital in London -which she can superintend herself & have her unpaid nursing system fairly tried' - We propose therefore to open an account at Messrs. Coutts' bank - where those who desire so to do, may subscribe - and ladies be also entreated to collect & receive subscriptions - so that when Miss Nightingale arrives - she may find a sum of money ready to carry out her plans - May I be permitted to state your cooperation in this matter. - I have the pleasure to add that Lady Canning is so good as to assure me that she is anxious to lay this project before the Queen immediately after her Majesty's return from France. I have the honor / &c &c &c;" adding, in a postscript, "dear Mrs. Howitt / This is he sort of letter I write / Yours affectionately / A.M. Hall."

Book Description
Concerning the letter she has written to Miss Burdett-Coutts asking for her help for the Nightingale Fund; saying "I had some circulars printed - but they look so ugly - and there is something fresh to think of, or to tell, in almost every letter - so that until all is en train, I must just write on - and I have been so encouraged in fact when once fairly laid before the public - the thing will work itself - Lady Canning, from whom I heard again this morning is quite eager to lay it before the Queen on Her Majesty's return - Lady Pollock also wrote me - she would help - & gives £5 - that is my first declared subscription. I hardly dared venture to write Miss Coutts - I real do love her, and it is so difficult to write any one you do truly admire without forgetting the form necessary towards what is called "a personal stranger" - she can help the thing wonderfully - more even by influence than by gold - I tried twice - & at last sent off my letter to her - please do what you can with her & her rich friends - I sent out several hundred collecting cards when I was working for the Consumption Hospital and some returned with shillings - some with pounds - & I really think we must do so now - they will work during the winter - & then in the spring a public Meeting - I do not think there is a pulpit would refuse a Sermon (two hours promised) or a Theatre a benefit - I hope I may live to see the Hospital built, - the one I have named had a much smaller commencement and see how the grain of mustard seed, has grown into a great tree - Miss Nightingale will of course begin her Hospital by training nurses - but I hope she will not end there - I hope long before the expiration of this Century - we shall have no Man Midwives - however the first Step will be the most important. Miss Nightingale has elevated the character of her sex in the eyes of the world - and for that alone we owe her a deep debt of gratitude - who now can dispute the fitness of women for such duties - and what a noble & dignified field it opens for women - who perhaps devoid of what we call accomplishments - have yet heads & hearts & hands fit for high & holy work - I have wept my eyes out over the records of those noble creatures - I can well understand you & dear Annie thinking the very thoughts that wafted Miss Nightingale & her glorious band over the Sea;" adding, in a postscript, "I constantly meet Miss Coutts in Society - but I never sought an introduction - She must be so bored by people - & I never yet paid a first visit to any one in a higher position than ourselves."

Inviting her to call when she is next in London; adding "What a blessing little Jessie must be to you - but I am sure, lovely as Devonshire is, you find (as we did) the air relaxing;" informing her of the death of her mother in January "...without a sigh or a struggle - as lovely in death as she was in life! but her loss to me, is what I cannot write about."
