Inde Albaugh,\nState Library.\nHartford, Conn.\nAy dear Miss Albaugh:\nI am Hastening to reply to your letter of the 20th\nwhich contains so much interesting information, as your so\nanxfous to secure a reply concerning the financial situation\nfor new graduates. I have discussed this with Miss Delano\nbut we do not seem to be able to reach any conclusion or\nsolution.\nThe question of equipping nurses for home service has been\nbrought forvard a nomber of times and at present we are lowking\ninto the cost of such and the distribution, for it would\nmean not only the equipment of the nurses who are going into\nthe service in the future but the nurses who are already in\nthe cantonment hosp itals in this country. It has been sug-\ngested that we give every nurse going into home service $50.00\nto be deducted from her equipment should she afterwards be sent\nto foreign service. This would make an appropriation of\n$250,000 for the 5000 nurses that are now in service in\nWe have also discussed loan funds, and the\ndelegation of this responsibility in individual cases,where\nsuch loans would be required, to the committees, chapters\nboards. I must frankly admit when it comes to\nand hospital question practically suggest; I completely however,\nthe of working it out that am\nat a loss for the correct solution. I would\nas a temporary expedient that the 5000 nurses needed by June\nbe secured from the graduate body, and as such new graduates\nare are able to qualify will meet their expenses, and that\nthe date of availability in the future for the new graduates\nbe placed two or three months in advance; for example, a nurse\ngraduating May lst might be available July lst. This would\ngive her two months in which to earn some money at private\nnursing and probably secure a bit of a rest.\nThe question concerning Miss Rose M. Sheriden is\nbeing referred to Miss Kerr of the Enrollment Department for\ninvestigation.\nMiss Delano is now working out the publicity Campaign,\nand you will probably receive information from the Division\nDirector and the allotment for Connecticut."
