C.\nMy Dear Miss Noyes\nI am enclosing with this my resignation\nfrom the Colorado Red Cross Committee, but feel that I would like\nto add just a personal note to you.\nI have been connected with the Colorado\nCommittee since it was organized in 1911 and feel very proud of my\ncard signed by Jane A. Delano. My association with the various\nmembers, who have come and gone and with National head-quarters has\nalways been very pleasant.\nMy service in France in 1918 -19 and the\nprivilege of knowing Miss Delano, when she was ill at Neuilly is a\ncherished memory. I am glad too of having had the opportunity to\nserve as Secretary of the Colorado Committee during our very busy\ntime of enrolling nurses for war service.\nLater, when Miss Lettie G. Welch had to\ngive up the Committee work on account of ill-health I was glad to\ntake over the Chairmanship. Now I feel that the Chairman and the\nmembers should be younger nurses, who are more closely connected\nwith Nursing Schools in order to keep in touch with each new class\nthat is being graduated and eligible for enrollment in the Red Cross.\nThere is one member of this Committee,\nwho has served as long as myself Mrs. Lathrop TayloR of Fort Collins.\nShe is always interested in the work and represents the Red Cross\nNursing Service in a community where there is no school of nursing.\nI hope it will be your pleasure to continue Mrs. Taylor on the Colorado\nCommittee for years to come.\nThe other members now are connected with\nactive nursing work, either Public Health or Hospital and I feel that\nwe have a very strong and satisfactory Committee in Colorado.\nFor myself I am doing office work and\nthough much interested in nursing affairs I believe this is an opportune\ntime to give up the Red Cross Committee work. You may always be assured\nof my loyalty and my support when it is needed and I appreciate having\nknown you through our many letters and hope our Red Cross friendship\nmay continue.\nYours very sincerely\nalice Evangeline #884.
