Note 159 — Chapter III · MISS NIGHTINGALE'S SCHOOL (1872–1879)
Reading edition
To another Superintendent who was taking up a new post, Miss Nightingale sent to her room “a wreath of everlastings and corn to be my little messengers to say how you are sowing seed that will grow up and be the Bread of Life for us, and how the work that you are doing is everlasting. Thank God for it.”
