This, however, does not\ngive me any suggestion as to what step to take next. Of\ncourse I could write Mr. Caton that he would have to deal\nwith the situation himself, and that this office is not pre-\npared to take the initiative in withdrawing Mrs. Heilman;\nThis course, however, I am extremely reluctant to take,\nbecause I fear that would result in causing Mrs. Heilman\na great deal of unhappiness, which I am very anxious to spare\nher. If I should write Mrs. Heilman instructing her to\nwithdraw, the result would be almost equally unhappy, so\nfar as she is concerned.\nThis leads me back to you and I am wondering\nM\nwhether the wisest course will not be for you, as her friend\nand adviser, to write her somewhat more frankly than you\ndid before and advise her definitely that the situation is\nso complex and unsatisfactory that it is best for her to\nresign. You can, if you wish, give her the assurance that\nher return transportation will be paid, together with her\nsalary until her arrival in New York. It may be wiser\nnot to tell her that these expenses will be met by the\nChapter, as that would show her that we have been corres-\nponding with Mr. Caton about her withdrawal. After her\nresignation has been received, she can be informed that\nthe Chapter will pay her expenses to New York.\nIf you are in accord with what I have said,\nwill you be good enough to write Mrs. Heilman as soon as\nconvenient?\nErnest P. Bicknell\nVice Chairman\nJ\nQ"
