I shall never forget your devotion to\nyour work and your loyalty to me personally, and I hope very much that\nyou will be able to find the particular work that suits you best. You\nhave so many qualifications that I am sure that you will ultimately\nfind the right thing.\nPoor Mr. Curtis, for 30 long a \"square pog in a\nround hible, or vice versa\", had just found the work for which he was\nbest suited. It seems a tragedy that on the eve of probable success\nfor him that he should have met with this sad accident. I four that\nhis wife has been left with very little, if anything, he may however\nhave carried a good insurance.\nI wonder if you know that I am planning to FO to\nEurope and am sailing on July 12th, on Oscar II, of the Scandinavian-\nAmerican Line? If you happen to be in No York City on that date, join\nMiss Johnson and come down to the ship and see me off. I am going as\nthe Representative of the Board of Directors of the American Nurses'\nAssociation, to attend the Meeting of the Executive Committee of the\nInternational Council of Nursing, which meets at Copenhagan, Denmark,\non the 30th of July. Immediately following the mieting I hope to go\ndown into Poland and visit our two Schools of Nursing at Posnan and\nWarsaw, and if all goes well will sail from Bremen on the 15th of\nAugust, on the S. S. George Washington. I dreased this trip, as I\ndid not want to go at all at first, but now I am rather looking for-\nward to the rest that will be afforded me by a ten days' sea trip.\nDo let me hear from you occasionally, and with\nbest wishes, I num\nSincerely yours,\nNational Director, Nursing Service.\nn-k"
