A quirky letter by British nursing heroine Florence Nightingale about her little-mentioned love of cats has emerged for sale 144 years later.

Nightingale, who became known as ‘Lady with the Lamp’ following her service as a nurse during the Crimean War, owned 60 felines throughout her life.

At one point, she owned as many as 17 at once.

In one of three letters written to a neighbour, she asks if she knows of a ‘cat fancier’ who might want to take on one of her pets, which was named Mr Bismarck – after the prominent chancellor of Germany.

Florence also named her cats after other prominent men of the day, such a Cat A Book A Day Keeps Reality Away Poster s British Prime Ministers Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone.

The letters, which date from 1877, will be sold tomorrow at Bamfords auction house, in Derby, with a combined estimate of £1,300.
