The subscription has been the result of voluntary individual offerings, and the amount of £4195 15s. 6d., already received, plainly indicates the universal feeling of gratitude which exists among the troops engaged in the Crimea for the care bestowed upon, the relief administered to, themselves and their comrades, at the period of their greatest sufferings, by the skilful arrangements, the unwearying, constant, personal attention of Miss Nightingale and the other ladies associated with her.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The subscription has been the result of voluntary individual offerings, and the amount of £4195 15s. 6d., already received, plainly indicates the universal feeling of gratitude which exists among the troops engaged in the Crimea for the care bestowed upon, the relief administered to, themselves and their comrades, at the period of their greatest sufferings, by the skilful arrangements, the unwearying, constant, personal attention of Miss Nightingale and the other ladies associated with her." in the context of "Lieutenant Colonel Robert Blane, Military Secretary to General Codrington during the Crimean War, letter (5 February 1856), quoted in W. J. Wintle, The Story of Florence Nightingale: The Heroine of the Crimea (n.d.), p. 122" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
