Love yours F.Nightingale | I besieged with questions from Ladies as to what they could do ,for the soldiers’ - I believe they mean chiefly in needlework. I wanted to ask your advice as to what to answer. One doen not know what they can do. Also: God finds many thinkgs now which they did not use to the Flannel shirts used to be the cry. Could you help me to answer? F.N.“
