Inviting, yes? For some reason the Regenstein always reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West's castle in the Wizard of Oz. Abandon hope, all ye who enter!

Pages 4 and 1, respectively, from a letter written to Bunting on July 18, 1883. This letter is written in pencil and the writing is very legible (Nightingale had very neat handwriting overall). Again she puts Bunting off on the Egypt article.

This is a letter written by the political philosopher John Stuart Mill to Florence Nightingale on August 9, 1867. It's part of a stack of correspondence in which Nightingale asks Mill to read a religious treatise she wrote, Mill obliges, they go back and forth about some of the finer philosophical points, and then Mill asks her to be part of the first women's sufferage organization. The final letter in this stack is from Nightingale, declining to be part of the organization because she is too busy. Lazy, incompetent historians everywhere have been misinterpreting this for almost 150 years.
