Public Health Service\nWashington 14, D.C.\nDear Miss Petry:\nFollowing is an excerpt from Mrs. Nan Cox Hare, Nursing Field\nRepresentative in the Virgin Islands) dated August 8, 1946s\n\"Our new Governor is anxious to establish one training school\nfor nurses here in the Virgin Islands. He wrote me for\nadvice on this matter and I suggested that he get in touch\nwith the Nursing Division of the U.S.P.H.S. and get assis-\ntance from them. It will take careful study of the whole\nnursing and hospital situation here to be able to give the\nadvice necessary on such a matter. I think that the U.S.PsH.S.\nwill have well trained nurses who can give the governor much\nbetter service than I would be able to give.\n\"The governing board of the Graduate Nurses Association of\nSt. Croix had a conference with the governor one evening\nthis week and at that time they begged the governor to get\na director of nurses for their hospitals here in St. Croix\nand to establish a training school for nurses. He took that\nopportunity to discuss with them the idea of one training\nschool for all the Virgin Islands. They were agreeable with\nhis thinking on the matter. He assured then that he was\nworking for the improvement of nursing service for the people\nhere as well as for more monetary compensation for the\nnurses. I thought you would be interested in the above\ninformation, since the U.S.P.H.S. people were coming over\nto your office to talk with you about my work here.\"\nRuth B. Freeman\nAdministrator\nNursing Services"
