Florence Nightingale /ˈnaɪtɪŋɡeɪl/, OM, RRC, DStJ (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. She gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of “The Lady with the Lamp” making rounds of wounded soldiers at night.

Important autograph letter and report signed four times by Clara Barton, regarding her work in identifying the Missing Soldiers of the Civil War, which Barton led alongside Andersonville POW Dorence Atwater, who kept the ”death list” that instigated the project. In this letter and report to Barton’s ally General Benjamin Butler, Barton not only comments upon Atwater’s infamous imprisonment, but alleges that a systematic campaign to undermine her had been hatched during the Andersonville expedition, even to the point of sending forged Letters to the Editor in Barton’s name, so that she would ”appear odious and ridiculous”. Sold for $5,000.

Together with the apothecary Tomé Pires and the physician Garcia de Orta he was one of the pioneers of Indo-Portuguese medicine.
