    "ocrText": "Extracted from letter from Miss Ethel G. Pinder, July 21, 1921.\nMiss Elizabeth Warham Foster badge number 28353,\n1428 Wood Ave; Colorado Springs, came as & volunteer.\nLewis\nMiss Foster and her assistant, Blanche Ina Lewis, Red Cross Nurse, badge number\n26114, - it was a pleasure to meet these women for their spriet of service\nwas so exceptional. Miss Foster was called back but Miss Lewis remained\nuntil we could replace her with the local personnel between you and\nme 9 Miss Noyes, few of the Pueblo nurses could measure up to them.\nAnsewred by Miss Noyes Aug. 16, 1921.\nYour two letters of the 21st of July arrived during my absence from a two weeks\nvacation. I am thrilled be the attitude of the nurses towardsthe Pueblo disaster\nparticularly in the case of Blanche Ina Lewis, who was accused by the Pike's Peak\nChapter during the War of seriour neglect of her professional duties. They\ninsisted upon an investigation and the withdrawal of Miss Lewis from foreign\nservice and wrote positive reams of the subject. Miss Lewis's overseas duty was\nsatisfactory, and it is particularly gratifying to know that at the Pueblo\ndisaster she performed such conspicuous service. I wish that the Pike's\nPeak Chapter might know something of it , but I suppose that is not possible."
