Anything that can help to that unity and understanding seems to me of great value, and this record is written for American women in the hope it may be of some small service.

THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN
"I have no fear nor shrinking. I have seen death so often that it is not strange or fearful to me.... I thank God for this ten weeks' quiet before the end. Life has always been hurried and full of difficulty. This time of rest has been a great mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity, I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone."
—EDITH CAVELL's last message.
