M April 1, 1936 D Miss Mary A. Clarke Y.M.C.A. 1421 Arch Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania My dear Miss Clarke: Your letter addressed to Miss Boardman has been referred to me. I regret to state that even though we are working at high speed at Red Cross Headquarters we appear to be able to cover the situation with our regular staff. I appreciate your difficulties and only wish that I could be of assistance to you, not only because of my interest in you personally but because of your close friendship with Miss Delano. Hundreds of nurses are helping with the flood relief work and I think if Miss Delano were to know how splendidly they had responded for service, almost entirely as volunteers, she would realize she had built better than she knew. I am wondering if you have ever been to our Chapter in Philadelphia in order to ascertain whether they had any type of work which you could perform. You may be interested to know that I have recently sent out hundreds of the little circulars which had been prepared by the Lakeside Publishing Company on your delightful "Memories of Miss Delano': Life". I am hoping that this will stimulate the sale of the book. With best wishes and regretting that I cannot be of more practical assistance, I remain Sincerely yours, Director of Nursing N:D
