- Description:
- Letter to Dean Milman of Wayne State University, asking for an unbiased opinion of an article called “The Sanitary Commission of the Army”, published in the Westminster Review in 1859. Miss Nightingale felt the original reviewer would not take the task seriously. She also offered to send her own report and requested an alternative person to supply a review, if Dean Milman is unable to assist. Miss Nightingale’s concerns were of soldiers stationed in India during the Crimean War, and their medical care and unhealthy sanitary conditions they endured.
