    "ocrText": "Extracted from letter from Miss Hay to Biss Moyes, Mar. 14, 19221\n\" MISS TORRANCE :- More than a week ago we had a wire from Mrs, Vaughan begging\nthat Miss Torrance be sent at once to the Baltics to inaugurate a public health\ncourse at Dorpat. In letter Mrs. Vsughan states she could think of no one else\nwho could do the work desired except Miss Torrance and suggested that Czecho-Slovakia\nshould spare her from its program. I wired Miss Besom asking her if Miss Torrance\ncould be released at once for this more needy field, but both she and Dr. Eversole\nfelt it would work a serious injustice to the program in Czecho-Slovakia and with\nthis view Dr. Burnham and I sympathized. I therefore wired that Miss Torrance\nwas not available nor Miss Rosenstiel who had also been mentioned in connection. A\ntelegram has now just come in from Dr. Knox remonstrating against Miss Torrance not\nhaving been sent. It is not improbable that it will mean that Mrs. Vaughan will\nherself stay up in the Balties for the better part of the next two months. I had\nreconmended that someone ef be chosen from among the workers in the Balties, Yrs.\nVaughan staying on long enough to get the course well established, say for a month\ntime. I am sorry to disappoint the people in the Baltics but I do not feel that it 1\nis fair to the Czech program to remove Miss Torrance when Miss Besom, believing that\nMiss Torrance was to stay in Czecho-Slavokia has planned accordingly and released\nother nurses as desired. The Balties were offered Miss T. long ago and refused her\nthough I suggested that she might be of more assistance than some other in the field\nwho could be released that she might be taken on. \"\nsee letter filed 630. Europe."
