Bethel,\nPharnacists Nates' School,\nHospital Station,\nNorfolk, Virginia.\nMy dear lies Bethel:\nI am enclosing a check for eighty-five\n($85.00) dollare, for the ruge, and trust it will reach you\nsafely. I like them very much, indeed, and have taken them\nto be washed and cleaned by the man we vitited together one\nday when you were trying to get my ideas in regard to colors,\netc. He ie regarded as very reliable.\nI was avay when your letter of January\n11th reached the office, and did not return until 6 day or\ntwo ego, and it was not until yesterday that I could find\ntimé to visit Miss Bowman's office and get the ruge. I think\nyou did very well for the money, and I am sure that after\nthey are thoroughly washed and cleaned they will be very\nlovely. What would you like to have done with the trunk?\nMiss Hertzer said she had written to you about it, but ahe\nwould be very glad to have me ask you also. If you are\ncoming to Washington perhaps you sould rather thave it kept\nhere. However, that is for you to decide. It was very good\nof you to take the trouble to get these ruge and to send them\nbsck, and I am wondering if you had any trouble in connection\ntherewith for if you did please let me know.\nI an sorry to hear about your silver,\nand while I am anxious to get my coffee eet this ie com-\nparatively unimportant in proportion to the silwer. I had a\nletter from Miss Anderson a few days ago, telling me she\nfeeling very much better. It seeme such a pity that she ie\n80 far from etrong, 2.6 it unquestionably interferes very\nseriously with her possibilities for work. I em very gled,\nindeed, to know that you are going back into the Navy. Miss\nBowman neede all the good nurses that she csn get. She ie\nvery fine herself, and has only the highest aspirations for\nthe Navy. Again thanking you, nd hoping you will let me know\nif you vere put to any extra expense, I am\nSincerely yours,\nNational Director, Nureing Service.\nn.k"
