    "ocrText": "Extra ted from letter from Miss Noyes to Mr. Bicknell, May 22, 1924.\nIt would seem, therefore, that an American nurse, assisted by two well\ntrained Bulgarian nurses would be able to carry the School, and in that case we\nmight be able to taper off as far as the financial obligation is concerned. I do\nnot know whether I have made myself quite clear, but if it is not, I should be ver\nvery glad to discuss it with you futher. If, however, you do approve of these\ngeneral suggestions I shall be glad to incorporate them in a letter to Miss Torr\nrance, for your consideration.\nI find we are paying Miss Torrance but $150. per month which is a\nmuch smaller salary than that paid to Miss Bridge. Inasmuch as she is remaining\nfor a much longer period than orginally was intended, and is most anxious\nto establish herself in some type of public health nursing in this country\nfor which she has special preparation, I should like to recommend if it is\nnot too late to increase Miss Torrance's salary to $2100 She is now recieving\n$1800. You will see by her letter that she is a bit worried about the possiela\nbility of establishing herself upon her return to this country, and this\nslight increase will at least convince her that we appreciate her work and the\nreal sacrifice that she is making. This would increase the budget as prepared\nby Mr. Swift, which was $4200 to $4500.\nIf the plan as suggested above of retaining only one\nAmerican nurse in that country, develops this saving more than offsets\nthe increase in this years budget.\"\nsee letter filed 502. Bulgarian School. (Fin.)"
