Rotch,\nManager, New England Division,\n73 Newbury Street,\nBoston, Mass.\nMy dear Mr. Rotch:\nI think ou need have no concern regard-\ning Miss Mary K. Nelson's ability to deal with the Public Health\nNursing situation. Miss Nelson has commanded the respect and\nadmiration of her associates, and the public at large, wherever\nshe has been. Her five years in France has given her an outlook\nupon life that has been of immense value to her. Her experience\nin Training School management and hospital administration gives\nher the preparation for administrative and organization work that\nwill also be of value to her.\nIf you had indicated to me that you were in-\nvestigating the credentials of Miss Mary C. Nelson, I could have\ngiven you fill information regarding her also, as she is an en-\nrolled Red Cross nurse.\nMiss Fox is away today, but I feel sure that she\nwould endorse everything that I have said about Miss Nelson, and\nam reasonably sure that she would feel that thatPablic Health\nnursing situation in New England, as far as the Red Cross is con-\ncerned, is in perfectly hands. Miss Nelson's work in the South\nhas brought her into close cooperation with the State Health\nOfficers, and perhaps no more difficult situation exists than that\nwith which she was brought into touch in the Southern States.\nMiss Nelson has been with me to-day, and will\ngo from here to Atlanta, where she will help Miss Van de Vrede with\nthe read justments in connection with the work of transferring the\nGulf Division to the Southern.\nmine For will write\nSincerely yours,\nDirector - Department of Nursing.\nN/K"
