I spent most of the time\nin Maine.\nYour communication is entirely explanatory and satisfactory\nand when a decision has been reached as to who the next Secretary vill be\nand the fate of the files, that is whether we are to continue to keep them\nin the Chapter, etc., would it not be a gracious act on our part to write\na letter of appreciation to Miss Reichner? She certainly has been a wonder-\nful help to you and also to this office for the splendid way in which she\nhas kept up withthe committee correspondence. or course, we realize that\nshe has done this largely for you.\nWe agree with you that it will be better to kecp your #2 card\nin the file of the Philadelphia Committee. inasmuch as your permanent address\nis still in that city. Do keep in touch mi th us as we shall always be interebted\nin you and your future career. It has been a great pleasure, not only to myself\npersonally but to this office, to work with you and we only wish there were\nmany more such secretaries scattered over these United States.\nWe are just now plunged into great excitement and some extra work\nbecause of the situation in Florida and a typhoid epidemie in Kentucky and we\nare making prodigious plans to secure the assistance of the nurses for a larger\nroll call thén we have had in many years. Admiral Grayson is determined to get\nthe membership up to five million so you see what is ahend of us this fall.\nSincerely yours,\nIda F. Butler\nAssistant Director of Nursing\nNational Headquarters\nIFB\nMReSD\n4"
