    "ocrText": "June 29, 1928.\nMise Harriette S. Douglae,\nc/o quitable Trust Co. of N. Y.,\n41 rue Camban,\nParis, France.\nMy dear Miss Douglass\nWhile I was sorry to learn from your\nletter of June 16th, that you had left the Club, still I\nwas not at all surprised. I am sorry, however, for the Club\nand for the activities represented therein. Too bad, you\ndid not accept the opportunity at Babylon, I believe you\nwould have been very happy there, the work seems so well\nworthwhile and is in line with your training and your social\ninclinations. I am disgusted with the attitude of the \"powers\nthat be\" at the Club, and particularly distressed because of\ntheir lack of consideration for you. Like you I believe too\nin the \"might of right\", it always pays.\nThe next question is - what are you\ngoing to do? Do you expect to return to this country in\ncase the opportunity in Florence does not materialize? I\nshould imagine there would be very little in the rursing or\nsocial service line in Italy. 1 understood Miss Curnee was\ngoing to France this summer, and I am wondering if you have\nseen her and had an opportunity to talk the matter over with\nher.\nI wrote to Miss Johnson yesterday and\ntold her that you were in line for something, and while they\nhave made an appointment at Babylon, they are very apt to\nhave changes there. Therefore, it is just as well for Miss\nJohnson to know that you are at the present time available.\nYou will be interested to know that\nyour little friend Mrs. Heley is back with US. We needed\nanother person after Mrs. Lynch cied, and as she was having\ndomestic difficulties and needed work she has returned to US."
