Army Works Corps.

"John Hall,

"Inspector-General of Hospitals."

I hope that Mr. P----, of the Army Works Corps, will pardon my laying
the following letter before the public:--

"Dear Mrs. Seacole,--It is with feelings of great
pleasure that I hear you are safely arrived in England,
upon which I beg to congratulate you, and return you
many thanks for your kindness whilst in the Crimea.

"The bitter sherry you kindly made up for me was in
truth a great blessing to both myself and my son, and as
I expect to go to Bombay shortly, I would feel grateful
to you if you would favour me with the receipt for
making it, as it appears to be so very grateful a
beverage for weakness and bowel complaints in a warm
climate. With many kind regards, believe me, dear madam,
your obliged servant,

"Samuel P----,

"Late Superintendent Army Works Corps."

Here is a certificate from one of the Army Works' men, to whose case I
devoted no little time and trouble:--

"I certify that I was labouring under a severe attack of
diarrhoea last August, and that I was restored to
health through the instrumentality and kindness of Mrs.
Seacole.

"I also certify that my fingers were severely jammed
whilst at work at Frenchman's Hill, and Mrs. Seacole
cured me after three doctors had fruitlessly attempted
to cure them.

"And I cannot leave the Crimea without testifying to the
kindness and skill of Mrs. Seacole, and may God reward
her for it.

"James Wallen,

"5th Division Army Works Corps."

Here are three more letters--and the last I shall print--from a
sailor, a soldier, and a civilian:--

"This is to certify that Wm. Adams, caulker, of H.M.S.
'Wasp,' and belonging to the Royal Naval Brigade, had a
severe attack of cholera, and was cured in a few hours
by Mrs. Seacole."

"I certify that I was troubled by a severe inflammation
of the chest, caused by exposure in the trenches, for
about four months, and that Mrs. Seacole's medicine
completely cured me in one month, and may God reward
her.

"Charles Flinn, Sergt. 3rd Co. R.S.M."

"Upper Clapton, Middlesex, March 2, 1856.

"Dear Madam,--Having been informed by my son, Mr. Edward
Gill, of St. George's Store, Crimea, of his recent
illness (jaundice), and of your kind
