Nuno,\nSt. Luke's Hospital,\nTokyo, Japan.\nMy dear Miss Nunoi\nThanks very much for your New Years' letter and\nyour good wishes for the coming year. I, too, hope it will be a\ngood one for all oflus, at least Estfar as heslth is concerned,\nfor without that we are not of much use either to ourselves or to\nanyone else.\nMay I offer you congratulations upon having\nreceived life membership in the Japanese Red Cross, it is indeed\na great honor. I am sure you deserved it, and I can imagine the\nformalities which attended the ce emony.\nBy the way, a few days ago I received a bundle\nfrom Miss Bagiwara containing a piece of Japenese material, cotton\nand rather pretty.

When I can get about it I will look back through the\ncorrespondence end see whether I can find any recent letters which\nshe has written to the lady in que tion. Evidently the fact of\npaying dues on the part of individualemembers to an Association is\nw\nnot a popular idea in Japan, and that makes me wonder whether she\nthinks that I am paid by the International Counci of Nurses to be\nits First Vice-President. If she thinks I am paid, I am wondering\nS\nwhat she thinks Miss Reimann receives. As a matter of fact, Miss\nReimann is practicelly a voluntear, receivinglonly the small sum of\nJ\n2"
