    "ocrText": "nee-\nE\nExtracted from letter from Miss Anderson, Turkey, June 18, 1923. to M iss Noyes.\n\"\nMiss Elsie M. Jessup has written to the American Consulate here in Constantinople to\nknow if there I'S an opening for her to practice her profession during the coming winter.\nThe lutter has been referred to me ândt. have just written her to get information regard-\ning the school she is from, her experience, etc. Is she on your files? And can you tell\nme anything about her? She writes from Paris.'\nMiss Noyes reply, July 6, 1923.\n\"\nYour letter regarding Miss Elsie M. Jessup has just come in. She is an Americari Red Cross\nNurse ; graduated of the New york Hospital; was enrolled through pur Paris committee during\nthe period of active hostilities; she had applied in 1916, but her training School Credentia\nwas not all together satisfactory, but inasmuch as she was being used by the Red Cross in\nParis we felt it was wiser to have her enrolled. She served with us in Serbia. Miss\nHay's report states - that she was very efficient and a good executive, also good instructor\nbut that she was not the best example to the nurses as she smoked and drank cocktails, and\none thing and another. However, Miss Hay said, that after she was spoken to and shown that\nunder the circumstances that it was not quite the proper thing to do, she shanged her habits\nto conform to the conditions as they existed. She returned to this country ill with some\nkidney complication. Apparently she is well now, but has been in South Africa and the last\nwe knew was in Paris. It has occurred to me that inasmuch as she is in Europe you might\nutilize her as a substitute, or on a temporary appointment, for I believe she is a well-\nborn woman, with a good social back-ground, and is apparently a good teacher. If you had it\nclearly understood that she was going on a temporsry appointment, it might help you over\na difficult period and you might find that you would like to retain her.\"\nsee letter filed 512.
