"black Nightingale”

From a letter from cousin Bob McDonald:

FN had "Crimean Fever" and then developed "Brucellosis".... There was an article written about her in a British medical journal and I have the reference. Apparently, this was a chronic disease and may have contributed to her longstanding withdrawal.
