Holmes\nBrushwood Farm\nPond Street\nFranklin, Mass.\nMy dear Katharine\nDon't you want to do some volunteer service for the Red Cross?\nYou probably know that Mary Nelson ie going to Constantinople early in\nSeptember. We are doing our best to persuede Virginia Gibbes who has\njust returned from the Philippines to take her position. Miss Gibbes\nis hesitating because she says she wants to take a county job where she\ncan do the work herself and she also wants to live in the country. Te\nare telling her that there are thousands of nurses who con fill county\npositions, or at least hundreds, while you can count those who can fill\ndivision positions on two hands; and we are pointing out all the advantages\nof life in New England and in Boston, and particularly are telling her that\nshe can get her appetite for country life appeased by running out to visit\nyou.\nMr. Rotch is intending to get Miss Gibbes to come up to Boston to telk\nthe proposition over and I wonder if you do not want to invite her out to\nyour country estate while she is up there? I am sure if the New Eaglend\no.K.\nDivision unloads its battery of guns and if you get in some good work for\nFOR FILING\nus we ought to win her over.\nR\nShe has gone to her home in Columbia, s.c., and her address is 914\nBarnwell St.\nSome day when I have leisure, I mean to write you all about my trip\nto Europe. It was perfectly fine and I enjoyed it enormously.\nHow are things going with you and Charlotte V.D.? I presume yousre\nbusy nursing young chickens and chasing off hanks, or whatever it is that\npreys on them. I hope the farm is blooming well and that all goes well\nwith you.\nWith affectionate regards to both of you,\nYours sincerely\negf ccl"
