I should like to futher suggest that she\nbe allowed adequate stenographic assistance.\nSgd. Clara D. Noyes.\nMr. Bicknell ans. on Miss Noyes' letter as follows* Miss D'Olier is granted\ntwo months leave of absence on pay the actual time of travel to and from her post\nto be included in the two months. She will meet her own travel expenses.\nBicknell.\nMr. Forster's letter to Miss Butler, May 11, 1923.\n\"Mr. Bicknell handed the attached to me this morning. In Miss Noyes absence I\nsuggest that you inform Miss D'Olier of Mr. Bicknell's decision. In doing so\nI think Mr. Bicknell wouls want you to empasize that this decision must not be\nregarded as establishing a precedent or a policy in regard to our personnel in\nthe West Indies. The general policy is to dael with each case individually upon i\nits me rits. For this reason it would perhaps be a good plan to advise Miss D'Olier\nto keep the decision to herself. \"\nLetter from Miss Noyes to Miss D'Olier. May 12, 1923.\n\" I beg to state that my recommendation to Mr. Becknell for two months\nleave of absence with pay for you, has been approved. This includes the actual\ntime of travel to and from the post.\nI am sorry, however, that travelling expenses have not been allowed,\nbut I am hoping very much that you will beable to arrange through Colonel Ross and\nGovernor Towner for a reservation on a Gevernment Transport. Mr. Forster tells me\nthat he has also written you in some detail on this point.\nLooking forward to seeing you, I am as always,\nYours very sincerely,\nDirector, Nursing Service.\nN-K\nsee letters filed 512. Porto Rico."
