ALS in pencil, signed “F. Nightingale,” one page both sides, 7 x 4.5, March 25, 1882. Handwritten letter to English lawyer Courtenay Peregrine Ilbert, in part: "I should be more sorry than I can say not to see Mr. Ilbert. But I am so ill & overworked that I am unable to see any one without an appointment: & I can only see one person at a time. I fear it would be almost impossible to Mr. Ilbert with his pressing engagements to make an appointment. But I would gladly make one…I would put off any other appointment." In fine condition, with a rusty circular paperclip impression to the edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Nightingale's hand and signed in the lower left corner, "F. Nightingale, 30/3/82."
