Nurse Talbot has been to me daily for nearly nine months, to attend my only little boy, who is incurably ill, and her visits have been eagerly looked for by us both. It has been such a comfort to me, as it enables me to keep him at home, where otherwise he would have had a long weary spell in hospital. I think the Silver Chain is very fortunate in procuring the services of such grand woman as Nurse Talbot has proved herself to my family… (reference)
