$1500 from the I.C.N., which she uses entirely for travelling expenses.
I em sending with this a check for ten dollars, which
I vant you to apply for the string of pearls. If this reaches you
before Miss Reid leaves, you can send them by her. Do not hesitate,
however, to add any additional sume within reason, to this amount if
M
you can get me a better string. I do not think I shall ever be
happy until 1 possess a string of real pearls.

Sp aking of pearls, reminds me of Mrs. St.John,
not that 1 ever saw her with a S ring about her neck, but because of
her relation to Miss Reid. I had a very nice note from her acknowledg-
ing my Christmas letter. the also sent me a very attractive Christnas
card.
I an sure you are finding plenty of work to do in
initiating and establishing your public health nursing program on a
sound found tion. Will you also thank Araki San for the very pretty
little calendar wich she sent to me? How I wish that 1 could visit
Japan, but it does not look very hopeful.
I am planning now to sail for Europe on June 13,
in order to be present at the dedication of the American Nurses
Memorial, and also to attend the board Heeting of the International
Council of Nurses which occurs on June 29, at which tine I suppose
we will consider the status of the National Associatins that are
applying for membership.
My sister and niece are quite well, and so too
is Scurry, who you will recall as being "beautiful but dumb.' He is
not so dumb as you think. whe he hears my automobile drive up in
front of the house he has sense enough to run to the chair in front
of the windos and put is paws on the back of the chair and watch me
get out of it. If he happens to be on the sidewalk when I come in,
although many other cars park on the same street, he knows mind well
enough to jomp on the running board. I expect to keill him some
day without knowing it. if you call that dumb, then I don't think
much of your judgment of cats.
We are tremendously busy at National deadquarters
trying to raise the ten million dollars for the drought relief, and
trying to head off Congress from giving us five million. The Red Cross
has refused to accept the Government's subsidy, even if they
appropriate it. Now I understand the American wegion is bidding
for it, and probably the Salvation Army. While you were sitting
watching the snow coming down, we have had day after day of perfectly
beautiful sunshiny wer ther, and not a flake of snow through the whole
month of January. With best wisnes, I am as always
`incerely yours,
J
National Director, Nursing Service.
