Letter from Florence Nightingale to Emily Buchanan

Handwritten letter sent to neighbour Miss Emily Buchanan, 12 South Street from Florence Nightingale (10 South Street) expressing her thanks for the flowers Miss Buchanan sent her for her birthday. Letter is written in pencil on paper pre-printed with the address. Unstamped or marked envelope included. One sheet folded in half, written on two 'sides' only, creased in the middle. In good condition, but text written in a soft HB pencil which has smudged, particularly on the envelope which is otherwise in good condition. Includes transcript: May 15 1902 10, South Street, Park Lane, W. My dear Mrs Buchanan How am I to thank you for the lovely flowers & the good wishes you sent me on my poor old birthday. The lilies of the valley are coming out beautifully in water. It is almost like seeing them grow. And the dear little roses are just as amenable to love & reason. Thank you again & again. Yours ever gratefully Florence Nightingale
