    "ocrText": "Miss Douglas.\n2\nWe have had the most wonderful seather\ncold and a good deal of rain for us. It is getting warner\nnow, but until the present time we have hardly had any of our\nuncomfortable warm weather. Washington was never more\nbeautiful, because of the rain. You will be chocked, how-\never, to see the way they have cut down the trees in order to\nwiden the streets. They have, however, replanted, and the\ntrees are growing very nicely, but it will take good many\nyears for them to be of sufficient size to either shade the\nstreets or cover up the houses whose hideous facue have been\nrevealed to U8 in some instances for the first time.\nwe have decided to finish the American\nNurses' Memorial. That meane raising $25,000. I Lope sometime\nif you happen to be going through to Brittany, or the south\nof France, that you will make a point of stopping off at the\nMemorial School at Bordeaux, they would love to have you.\nYou will also be interested to know\nthat we have taken a column on the front of the buildingknown\nas the Memorial to the Romen of the Worlds Bar, which ie to\nbe the headquarters of the District of Columbia Chapter, and\nis not under National Headquarters control, in memory of Miss\nDelano. Be have decided to use the remainder of the fund to\nerect a memorial, probably on the grounds of the American Red\nCross, in the court that will be formed by the Civil War\nMemorial, the Worlde War Memorial, and our new office building,\nwhich will conform in architectural design to the other two.\nWhether this will take the form of a beautiful fountain, or\nsome other sculptural design remains to be seen. If you see\nthe American Journal of Nursing, or the American Red Cross\nCourier, you will be able to read of the Biennial Convention,\nwhere both of these questions came up for discussion and\nwere settled in this way. with best wishee, I am 88 always\nSincerely yours,\nNational Director, Nursing Service.\nH.H"
