    "ocrText": "January 21, 1930.\nMiss Harriette S. Douglas,\nc/o Equitable Trust Company,\n41 Rue Camban,\nParis, France..\nMy dear Miss Douglas:\nEver since your lovely Christmas card, with\nthe exquisite handkerchief arrived I have wanted to sit down and\nwrite you a letter of than 3 and good wishes for the coming new\nyear. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your\nthought of me, the card was one of the most beautiful I have ever\nseen, and for that matter so was the \"hankie\". It was very sweet\nof you to remember me. Christmas now seems very l'ar in the back-\nground, but it has taken me a long time to catch up with my\nChristmas correspondence, and you will be surprised I am sure to\nlearn th t only this morning I received four Christmas cards and\none delayed present, so you can see I have Christmas for a long\ntime. There is nothing that gives me greater pleasure than to\nreceive messages from the members of our \"ed Cross family, not\nonly in the United States, but who are scattered throughout all\nparts of the world.\nMany people have spoken of you to me\nrecently. I was over in New York last week and saw Florence\nJohnson, and she told me she had you in mind for two things -\none to be on her medical social service staff, and the other was\nthe National Office of the St. barnabas Build, so that/you are\nthinking of coming home it looks as if there might be something\navailable for you, if not immediately perhaps soon after your\narrival. In any case I thought you would appreciate knowing\nthat people thought of you and wanted you.\nWe had a week of eetings in New York City\nin connection with the three National Nursing Associations, and\nFO really accomplished a great deal. A much better understanding\nis being developed and the American Nurses' Association is being\ngreatly strengthened by the position which is being taken especially\nby the N.O.P.H.N. that there should be but one professional associa-\ntion and that the A.N.A., and that the N.O.P.H.N. should gradually\nbecome an organisation for ublic health nursing, having a member-\nship of people who were int rested in community work."
