My dear Mr. Johnson:
Your letter of August 31st on the subject of
the article on Jane A. Delano has been received. Immediately there-
after I wro e to some of her more intimate friends to see if I could
secure the names of her parents and some information about her early
education. As yet no reply has reached me, consequently I have not
been able to comply with your wishes, Miss Delano was an only
child, and with almoet no relatives. Such as ehe had have probsbly
died long ere this.
I should be sorry to see the last paragraph on
)
Page 2 omitted for this shows the result of her preliminary organiza-
tion work. The last paragraph can, of couree, be omitted, but I
chould like to include eomething which I overlooked, and that was
her relation to the National äursing Apsociations, as she was President
of the American Nurses¹ Association, as well as Chairman of the Board
of Directore of the American Journal of Bursing. Perhape the reference
to these two important activities can bè incorporated.
Miss Delano wrote no booke, with the exception of
the textbook on Home Hygiene and Gare of the Sick, which I have. already
mentioned. The only source of information is the History of American
Red Groes Bursing Service. All the other material has been gathered
through her friende and my own acquaintance with her, which covered a
good many years.
I will let you hear from me later. I expect to
be out of the city for the next tuo weeks, and am hoping that the delay
will not inconvenience you.
Sincerely yours,
N.H
National Director, Nursing Service.
