THE CRIMEAN NURSES.
TO THE EDIXOB. Sir,—l am sorry to see . that any man could find it in his heart to try and disparage tho usefulness of those noble women who not only gave up home and its comforts, and in some cases advancement m life, to nurse and comfort our wounded and ok fellow countrymen and relations at the C T m should 'class them as ministering angels with their light touch, cheering presence, and "tiring attention in that camp of misery. All wore treated alike from the commander-in-chief down to the lowest man in that camp. How many were actually dragged S to life, or how many passed away n peace, blessing those noble women, not only For their untiring attention, but also for their soothing nrayers, no man can tell. I do not know why any man should claim that the women from the Roman Catholic Convents were either cleverer or more sedate. If some of our late friends, Roman Catholic soldiers, could now speak, they would tell another tale.—l am, etc., One Whose Relatives Died in the Crimea.
