C.\nFrom Miss Mary K. Nelson, Div. Director of Subject\nNursing, New England Division.\nAge\nMy dear Miss No yes:\nIt was most kind of you to reply so\nquickly to my personal note, explaining my present troubles, or,\nas they appear to me, trials. It seems wiser, at present, to\nhave Miss Wildes carry the routine work, just she did during\nmy summer vacation. We count on everything going well. Should\nit not, other arrangements are ready to be considered. Mr. Rotch\nand Miss Wildes both prefer this plan, and I myself, think it\nthe wiser one.\nI know I can be very thankful that I\nam so near home. Dr. MaCrae, my own physician, is closely\nconnected with Dr. Truesdale, with whom I worked so long in\nhis hospital in Fall River, so it means that I go into his\nhospital the 26th to have him do the work the 27th. Having\nsuch full confidence in his ability, I can leave everything\nentirely to him, and know whatever he does will be best for\nme. I have arranged SO Miss Wildes will be kept informed of\nmy progress, and she, in turn, will relay that word on to you.\nI have purposely been getting myself in the best possible\ncondition for this, and judging by past experiences where I have\nmade really remarkable recoveries from more serious illnesses,\nI feel confident that I shall be back here in what would appear\na short time ordinarily.\nMy thanks again to you for your kind\nthoughtfulness.\nYours very sincerely,\nmary K. Nelson f. Nelson\nMary\nDirector of Nursing Service.\nMKN/BA"
