-3- Miss Madley and All the Nursing Staff November 18, 1941 I am not quite sure from the reports what you want for the Recreation Building. I believe that by seeing Mr. David Bruce I can find out more about it. This I am going to do. That Center certainly ought to be as delightful as it can be made. Think of the covered runways being all done! I can visualize immaculate starched nurses in white shoes, going along those walks with that intense and purposeful gait which we all asso- ciate with nurses. The more I write to you, the more eager I grow to be there and to see for myself. With my very best good wishes to each one of the 62 of you - no I will change that and say to each one of the 83, I am Sincerely, Your Friend, Mary Beard, Director, Nursing Service.
