My dear Mrs.Amick;
NURSING
Thank you for your kindly explanatory
letter. I am relieved about some things, but rather
upset about others. Apparently the people here have
put their interpretation of the needs, and perhaps per-
sonal wishes, ahead of sharing in the War service. I
have a note of permission to leave for any service that
might be asked of me, written by the Chairman of our
Board, in February, 1941, and stating that I"had the unan-
imous approval of the Board to serve, as and when, called!
At seems that that did not mean quite what it said.
As far as leaving the Association in any dilemma,
that too, had been cared for, as one of our local, gradu-
ate married nurses would have taken over, and was fully
prepared to do so. However, there is no use crying over
it,but I would be glad if you would register me for any
necessary war service, for which I might possibly eligibl
I have written Mrs. Doherty at the Providence Office
and hope that somehow, somewhere I can still be of use.
It is a bitter pill to swallow, to learn that you are not
