H.\nMy dear Miss Little:\nYour very understanding letter of September 28 addressed to\nMrs. Amick has been referred to me as Mrs. Amick is not now in this\noffice. I hope that you will be able to talk over all of the points\nwhich you have brought out in your letter with the Chief Nurse in\ncharge of your hospital or with Miss MacLachlan, the Supervisory Nurse.\nThe Red Cross, as you know, is not carrying the responsibility\nfor the hospitals to which the nurses recruited through this organization\nare assigned, but we have been assured of the constant efforts made to\nstabilize the situation in every way possible. I think it is very likely\nindeed that the general hospital situation in Hawaii is at the moment at\nleast no worse than at home. It would, however, be a very much more\ndifficult situation to help at short notice because of its isolation. I\nam very glad to know that you have been happy in the work which you have\nbeen doing. Your Chief Nurse or Miss Machachlan will, I know, count on\nyour discussing the matter with them.\nNo assignments afenurses are being made at the present time\nunder the American Red Cross for foreign or war rehebilitation work. We\nare not certain just what demands will be made on us but it seems likely\nthat two or three nurses, one a nursing school administrator and one a\npublic health administrator might be needed in a single country if there\nis a request for help, their work being to help the nurses of the country\nget their programs started.\nI an taking the liberty of sending to Miss Machachlan a carbon copy\nof this letter to you.\nSincerely yours,\nVirginia M. Dunbar\nAssistant Director\nVMD:SJ\nNursing Service\ncc: Miss MacLachlan"
