    "ocrText": "February 5, 1929.\nand\nMy dear Miss Fitzgereld:\nYour letter of January 3rd has\njust reached me. 1 have read it with a great deal of\ninterest. I sympathize quite fully with Nise Reimann\nfor I know something about international complications\nand difficulties. Miss Gagetwhose international exper-\nience has been confined to China, does not appear to be\nfamiliar with the continental situation. I should accept\nher judgment on any matter that pertained to the oriental,\nbut not on questions that pertain particularly to the\nLetin roces.\nThere ie, perhaps, & bit of\nexcuse for the *merican Nurees! Association in going over\nthe head of Miss Reimann and approaching Dr. Rostta. Miss\nReimano made it quite plain that she delegated to the A.N.A.\nthe privilege of approaching all their speakers in this\ncountry. The some privilege was accorded to the Canadians.\nShe did, however, make a reservation 0.6 far as an approach\nto foreigners was concerned.\nI am sfraid that Miss Carr was\nresponsible for bringing Dr. Roatta forward. It 256 worked\nin & backhand way, I think through Juliet Turner and\nothers and perhaps Miss Baxter (of this I am not certain)\nwho are friends of Miss Cerr, and who brought forward Dr.\nRoatta. Their claim was - that he W&B one of the leading\npublic health men and an expert in tuberculosis. Miss\nCarr brought the situation to Miss Gage and Mise Gage\nseemed to grasp it with some eagerness, and the matter\nwas sent around to the Board of Directors for some con-\nsideration. The question immediately raised in my mind\nwas the precedent ae well as the expense. Miss Clayton\nalso raised the question of the expense, but when the\nCanadian nurses agreed to pay all traveling expenses,\nthey approached Dr. Koatta direct without any further\nconsideration, overlooking for the time being the fact\nthat their approach to speakers wae confined to the U.S."
