Crandall\nAmerigan Thild Herlth Association\n370 Seventh Ave\nNew York City\nMy dear Miss Crandall\nYou will remember my telling you that the Lengue of Red Cross\nSocieti es had expressed a desire that whatever American nurse was\nappointed on the Nursing Advisory Committee of the League should\nspend four months with the League previous to the meeting of the com-\nmittee in April. Sir Claude stated that he would especially like\nto have either you or me and explained the situation as follows:\n\"Would it he possible, if ither of these two nurses could be\nsppointed, for the one selected to come over to Europe to work with\nus here in the Les gue and to study our methods for a period of say four\nmonths, from January to April? This may seem an unrensonable request\nbut it is actuated by the fact that the very henvy development of the\nwork in the Nursing Division has made it almost impossible for the\navailable personnel to grapple with the task of pr eparing publications,\nliterature, etc., as well as of fulfilling visiting engagements, which\nis such an important part of Miss Olmsted's work. The small staff\nat present sanctioned for the division struggles manfully but finds\ndifficulty in giving adequate time to prepare definite educational\nplans for the promotion of public health nursing internstionally. The\nhelp and advice even temporarily of either Miss Crandall or Miss Fox\nin this direction would, as I am sure you vi 11 agree, prove invalua ble.\nIt would incidentally have the great advantage of enabling your selec-\no.K.\ntion to familiarise herself completely before the first meeting of the\nyor PALONA\nNursingAdvisory Committee with the methods and objectives of the Lengue's\nR\nDivision of Nursing.\n\"I am aware that in making this suggestion I am asking for a very\ngreat deal. I am able, however, owing to the economies which we have\nfound possible during the last nine months, to finance such a visit and\nstay at the League from the budget allotments of the current year, and\nif it were possible for either of the ladies mentioned to spend four\nmonths with us, I would propose to pay her traveling expenses both ways\nand give her a salary equivalent to that drawn by Miss Olmsted, namely,\n$315. I believe that this salary is less than what they are drawing\nat present, but you will appreciate my difficulty in offering more. At\nthe same time, I want to make it abundantly clear that Miss Crandall or\nMiss Fox would not be the subordinate of Miss Olmsted in the Nursing Divi-"
