Any information on "Miss C. M. Nicholson" a missionary to Palestine?

[kealexander]

I'm a historian trying to find out about an amazing woman who was a missionary to the Jaffa Medical Mission and then founded the Palestine Village Mission. I know that she was a Mildmay Deaconess who first went to Jaffa in the 1880s and I know that she stayed in Palestine till well into the 1900s. I've searched Church Missions Society archives in Birmingham, UK but the only record they have is a letter signed "Miss C. M. Nicholson." Everywhere else she is just "Miss Nicholson." Any help on further identifying her would be so very appreciated!
