Letter from Florence Nightingale to Mr. Rawlinson about his review of her publication

This letter was written to thank Mr. Rawlinson for his suggestions and articles that he supplied to Florence so that she would be able to include up-to-date information in the second edition of her publication “Introductory Notes on Lying-In Institutions”. This book discussed proper procedures and facilities needed in maternity wards. Mr. Rawlinson was most likely Sir Robert Rawlinson (1810-1898), a civil engineer.
