What an amazing piece of history
A handwritten letter by Florence Nightingale, from 1872, has gone on display for the first time.
Found in near-pristine condition in the university’s archives, the letter details the 62-year-old giving her support to a campaign led by the Suffragettes and activist Louisa Hubbard to create a female teacher-training college on the south coast – now the University of Chichester. “It is a remarkable find and is completely unspoiled, despite spending the last 140 years in an old scrapbook which belonged to the famed women’s rights campaigner Louisa Hubbard.”
