I also\nreceived your Christmas card, with its little note on the back\nand your letter of the first of November.\nYou will be interested to know that Miss Hagiwara sent\nne a very lovely card and also a battledore and shuttlecock, most\ndelightfully packed in a wooden box. They certainly know how to\npack things well in that country. The battledore is most unusual\none. While I doubt if I over get expert in its use, Lucy Lay is\nalready having a beautiful time with it. By the way, in writing\nmy letter of thanks, I mentioned the situation in Japan and went\nso far as to suggest that Korea be allowed to come in in the same\nmanner that England has allowed her possessions to enter and we have\nallowed the Philippine Islands. I do not know whether anything will\ncome of it but I do not see how we can accept Japan unless she carries\nout our suggestion made in Montreal, either a Federation or admission\non a separate basis.\nIn your little note of the first of November, you gave me\na lot of news regarding appointments, et cetera. You have quite a\nlarge American staff which I an sure means a great deal to the hospital,\nas well as to the individuals who are there. It is hard to work out\nproblems in a foreign country unless you have an ample stock of teachers\nand supervisors who know what you are trying to accomplish.\nI saw Miss Johnson, Alts Dines and Mary Roberts last month\nas they all came here to the meeting of our National Committee. It\nwas very nice to see themand thay certainly added & great deal to the\nw\ninterest of the meeting.\nI cannot stop now to write to you at any length as it is\nSaturday morning and there is no end of work to be done but I will try\nafter your board mesting to write you a real letter.\nAgain accept my appreciation for your delightful gift and\n2\nwith best wishes for a Happy New Year, I am\nSincerely yours,\nNaR\nNational Numetno"
