Mr. Arthur G. Rotch,
Manager, New England Division,
73 Newbury Street,
187100¥
Boston, Mass.
My dear Mr. Rotch:
With the closing of the Pennsylvania-Delaware
andithenGuiff Division, we have two admirable nurses either one
of whom would make good Division Directors of Nursing. The
first is Miss Susan Francis of the Pennsylvania-Delaware Division.
She is not a Public Health nurse, but lone like Miss Van de Vrede
is so broad and generous in her viewpoint that her advice on all
sub jects including Public Health Nursing is good. Before laying
Miss Francis special qualifications before you, may I state quit
frankly that I should prefer to see her take the Lake Division,
which has also a vacancy, and have stated as much both to Mr.
Cadwallader and Miss Francis, providing it is agreeable to both
of
them. Miss Francis, however, may not care for the Lake
Division, and I think as an old Red Cross worker, with her find
experience, she should be given first choice in the matter.
The second person is Miss Mary K. Nelson, who
is
Director of Public Health Nursing in the Gulf Division. Miss
Nelson is a Public Health nurse, but with a broad general ex-
perience in all phases of work. She, too, can be classed among
the Red Cross workers covering considerable period of time, has
had not only American experience but foreign as well, is a New
England woman with a pleasing personality. Miss Nelson could
act as Director of Nursing, covering all phases of the work.
Miss Francis would need as Director of Public Health Nursing a
Public Health nurse. In that case it would imply two members of
the Nursing Service on your Staff Council. This, of course,
would be quite in line with what is happening at National Head-
quarters, and is not an insurmountable obstacle.
As the adjustments must be made and something
definite must be offered Miss Francis and Miss Nelson, may I not
ask for an early reply? I may state, however, that I have spoken
to both Miss Nelson and Miss Francis, stating that Twbavacancies
would exict and that we hoped to be able to retain them providing,
of course, a satisfactory arrangement could be made with the
Division Managers.
Since seeing you I have written to Miss
