COPY American Woman's Club 353 West 57th St. New York City June 30, 1938 Dear Miss Butler: I am very anxious to meet Mr. Normal Davis, the new chairman of the Red Cross, to discuss with him a book of Reminiscences on which I am working and in which the A.R.C. figures very greatly and also the situation (nursing) in China. I would be willing to go to Washington to see you and Mr. Davis if necessary but find it hard to leave my typewriter even for a day at this time. So, I am wondering if Mr. Davis at some time when he is in New York would be kind enough to grant me an interview at your request. I hope that you received a letter which I wrote to you as soon as I heard, many months ago, that you were willing to stay on at the Red Cross, telling you how delighted I was as no one I know was better fitted than you to carry on. With best wishes, I remain Very sincerely yours, (SIGNED) ALICE FITZGERALD ORIGINAL SENT TO MR. DAVIS
