Jenny Lind's Hospital
[Douglas W Jerrold] *
Genre: | Letter, Spoof |
Subjects: | Hospitals, Patronage, Music |
Notes Jenny Lind's donation of £1776 15s to Brompton Hospital for an extension of the building. Suggests that the new construction be called 'The Nightingale Wing'—an allusion to Lind's appellation as the 'Swedish Nightingale'. | |
