    "ocrText": "February 25, 1926\nMiss Harriette S. Douglas\n4 Rue De Chavreuse\nParis, France\nMy dear Wise Douglas:\nYour letter of February 6th reached me\n& few days ago, and as there was so much of interest in it\nto the various members of our staff I sent it to Mrs. Baker,\nMiss Fox and Miss Butler to read. I knew that Are. Baker\nwould be particularly gratified with your observations on\nthe new \"one Hygiene book. It has been exceedingly well\nreceived and I believe it will fill the present needs much\nbetter than the qld one.\nWe had received your letter acknow-\nledging the receipt of the cape and cans 80 everything is\nall right. I am very glad, indeed, that you can use them\nI do not expect to visit Parie within\nthe near future, but it eeemed to me that if by any chance\nI did visit Europe, especially Paris, it would be very\nnice to stay at the Women's University Club, and I thought\nthis might be poseible, inasmuch &8 I have what is known\nas a \"guest membership\" in the club in Washington, paying\nfull dues, having all the privileges but no vote. However,\nI should be glad if I went to Paris to stay in such a\ncongenial place.\nMiss Olmsted is now in the United\nStates, and spent about ten days at Nati nal Headquarters\nleaving last Wednesday. She will probably be here for\nseveral months, and is returning in time for the Pan-\nAmerican Congress.\nI hope the Baronese has reached\nParis by this time, I want you to know her, she is a very\ncharming woman and I believe it will be on excellent thing\nfor the League to have a woman of that type at the head of\ntheir nursing service. I have an idea that the gentlemen\nof that organization would hesitate, in the vernacular of\nthe day \"to put anything over on her.\""
