Noyes,\nDirector, Nursing Service,\nDate April 1, 1925. APR 4700\nFrom\nWashington, D. C.\nSubjeci\nMrs. E. H. Vaughan.\nReferreu w/\nI have just received the following telegram with Miss Hay's signature:\n\"Letter received today sick Presbyterian Doctor says probably\nincapacitated month Urge other arrangements Letter follows.\"\nIn a letter to you a few days ago we mentioned having asked Miss Hay\nto report for duty on April lst. Not having heard from her by April\nlst, I was somewhat concerned. That evening I received a letter from\nMiss Morse, who being on her way to Michigan spent Sunday in Chicago,\ntelling me of Miss Hay's illness. She evidently had gotten her in-\nformation from Miss Threns.\nThe stroke, altho slight, had effected Miss Hay's speech, Yesterday\nI\nwired Miss MacMillan at the Presbyterian Hospital, asking for in-\nformation about Miss Hay's condition, and the prognosis, but so far\nhave had no answer from her in regard to this:\nNeedless to say, I am just sick at the thought of not having Miss Hay\nwith us. However, it would seem unwise for her to consider work at\nthis time. We are taking care of the routine work in the office,\nand hope that it may be possible for Miss Chapman to come in to\nSt' Louis for a day or so next week to go over some of the Home\nHygiene material on hand..\nI\nhope that you and Mrs Baker are not not worrying about that service.\nJust happens that there are no pressing problems, and eveything is\ngoing along nicely.\nAs soon as I receive Miss Hay's letter I shall send you a copy.\nMiss Chapman and her nurses are working on a report of nurses assigned\nto the disaster area, which we hope to be able to send on to Washington\nthe latter part of this week.\nVery sincerely yours,\nElabrih 4. baughan\nMrs E. H. Vaughan,\nAssistant Director, Nursing Service.\nIt\nC\n8\n10f.\n2"
