Suggest Crandall or Florience Patterson. Please\nconsult\nthem. will paying traveling and salary $300 monthly. Writing.\"\nWe have had no word from Sir Claude in regard to the confirmation of\nmy nomination. I judge from this cablegram that Miss Olmsted is very much\nin need of assistance and that Sir Claude is particularly anxious thet she\nshould have the best holp America can give her in getting things in shape\nfor the April meeting. I think Sir Claude feels that it would be a great\nadvantage if this assistance nould be given by the nurse who is to represent\nAmerica on the committee and is still hoping that some such arrengement can\nbe made.\nI am sending this information on to you immediately and hope that you\nwill not allow the fact that the RedCross has nominated me for the committ\nto enter into your consideration of the pooposition. of course, I scarcely\nsae how the American Child Henlth Association could release you for this\nperiod, but I think it would be a tremendous help to Miss Olmsted if you\ncould spend this four months with her. I don't for one minute want my\nnomination to stand in the way of securing for her the assistance which she\nundouhtedly needs and needs badly. If you can go over, I shall be gled to\nask Judge Payne to withdraw my nomination and suggest yourself in my stend.\nWill you let me have an answer as soon 8.8 you can so that I may cable it to\nMiss Olmsted? or if you prafer to cable her yourself, will you let me know\nwhnt your answer has been?\nYours sincerely\nElizabeth G. Fox\nNational Director\nRed Cross Public Hem th\nNursing Service\negf ccl\n2"
