LOUIS\nI\nTo\nMiss Noyes\nDate\nNovember 28, 1931.\na\nFrom Mrs. vaughan\nSubject\nI\nC\nOn August 27 you asked us to assist you in locating Miss\nLoretta I. Bigley, #21070, whose No. 2 card is held by the Chicago\nCommittee. In reply to a letter written the Chicago Committee, they\nadvised that Miss bigley is at present in China with the Rockefeller\nN\nFoundation and will be for another year. They also stated that they\nfelt Miss bigley preferred to keep her membership with the Chicago Committee\nand so did not send her a questionnaire this past year.\nWhen we received this information, we suggested that the\ncommittee senu Miss Bigley a questionnaire and if she intended to remain\nin China another year it would be better to send her card on to your\noffice. We have just now heard from the committee again and the secretary\ninforms us that they do not know just where this nurse is located in China,\nbut if we think best, they will try to secure her address from the ROCKE-\nfeller Foundation and send her a questionnaire. However, the\ncommittee\nVice-Chairman advised the secretary that Miss Bigley told her she pre-\nferred to keep her membership in Chicago. They have promi sed to learn\nwhen she expects to return to this country.\nIn view of the information given above, I am wondering\nwhat action you wish us to take.\nShould we ask the committee to\nsecure the nurse's address from the Foundation and send her a question-\nnaire, and if she intends to remain in China for any length of time\ninsist upon their transferring her No. 2 card?\nElibah H. bangham\n(Mrs.) Elsbeth H. Vaughan,\nAssistant National Director,\nNursing Service, Midwestern Branch.\n2"
